Reviews for Gioia Cheese Co in South El Monte, CA
Gioia Co. is a hidden gem. Feel lucky to have found them.
Gioia is by far the best Italian Cheese Factory in Southern California. Their mozzarella and cheeses are as close as you can get... to the original products in Italy. Their ricotta cheese is THE BEST. Nobody has it this good. I live 65 miles away from them ,but this is the only place I go to buy what I need. I highly recommend it Read more
The staff at Gioia Cheese are very friendly & accomidating. More importantly, the cheeses here are made with whole milk, making... the mozzarella taste so much better than many of the competitors out there who use powders instead. The flavor of the burrata isrich & creamy. The mozzarella is very fresh & flavorful. Overall, Gioia Cheese is a great place to get the most authenticflavors of Italian mozzarella to your table.

If you're a fan of gourmet cheeses, and live nearby El Monte, Gioia Cheese let's the public buy from them. Most of their... customers are restaurants and gourmet markets. I first heard of Gioia when I found their burrata at Erewhon. I paid 13 bucks fora tub of burrata; at Gioia you pay 6 bucks. If you like ricotta cheese, they sell a large tub where you pay less than 10 bucks.Now I can enjoy gourmet cheese without overspending at grocery stores. BTW Gioia only accepts cash & checks Read more
They're open! Just grabbed 3 tubs of burrata for some mass caprese salad time :) 6 bucks for a tub, called ahead after work and... they stayed open til 7PM on a Friday. Read more
The best most authentic Italian cheese in southern California. Best Burrata I've ever had. Can't beat their prices!
Wonderful place to visit, purchase their fantastic products at a significant discount from some of those west side markets that... carry them. Oh, and to 'john c.' perhaps you don't realize that Burrata is made from fresh cream, which has a very short shelflife. In the future you should know what you're buying, and try to eat it the day you buy it. It won't get any better the longeryou keep it. Also, and I don't want to call you an idiot, but why would you eat anything that you'd let spoil? Read more
