Local Focus: 3 Lonetti Sisters
Local products are the heart and soul of our business. As the community around our first store supported us, we are honored to continue a tradition of working with the best of the best local producers. One of our newest vendor partners to Kowalski's is 3 Lonetti Sisters, and we are proud to be the first grocer in the Twin Cities to offer them in our markets.
Ann Lonetti Lavorato, Stephanie Lonetti and Katie Lonetti Gunderman are the Lonetti sisters, the great-grandaughters of immigrants from Calabria, Italy, to the East Side of St. Paul. Grandpa's Meatball Mix is their authentic, time-tested, family-favorite blend. It's gluten free, made with organic spices and makes phenomenal meatballs. Just add Grandpa Lonetti's mix, 1 egg and a bit of ketchup and mustard to 1 lb. of beef, pork, poultry or any plant-based protein. It can also be used to season other Italian recipes, such as Chicken Parmesan and cheesy bread.
Look for Grandpa's Meatball Mix in the Grocery Department.
Did You Know?
Italian meatballs didn't originate in Italy. They were created by Southern Italian immigrants when they came to America. That means that in order to be truly authentic, your Italian meatballs should come from this side of the pond – or in this case, the East Side of St. Paul!
Selection and availability varies by market.
