FAMILY OPERATED
In the 1900s, the Taranto family embarked on a journey from Filicudi and Alicudi, Italy, seeking new horizons in America. Settling in Brooklyn's Carroll Gardens, they worked tirelessly at the shipping docks, their dedication culminating in the Taranto Brothers Grocery in Upstate New York—a symbol of hope and community.
Years later, the great-grandson of Salvatore Angelo Taranto drew inspiration from the family's storied past, leading to the creation of the CS Instant Coffee brand. This brand, while modern, is deeply rooted in the values of resilience, tradition, and a commitment to the community.
CS Instant Coffee, with its emphasis on simplicity and efficiency, encapsulates the Taranto family's legacy of unwavering dedication.
