Over the following years Vito worked in some of Italy’s best cheese factories, returning to Conversano to marry Pina, and later to open their business - Caseificio Vannella. Eventually, their children Annarita and Giuseppe were born.

Today recognised as pioneers in the industry, Australia has a lot to thank the Minoia family for as they helped introduce the ever-popular Burrata to dining tables around the country. The family have gained a lot in return, over the years learning about many different dairy products from the people they have met along their journey. As a result, the Vannella range has evolved to include beautifully creamy buffalo feta, traditional oaxaca cheese, naturally fermented buffalo yogurt and much more.
