Let’s create something great together.

Afino by Grande™ raises pizza to a whole new level. Yours.

You didn’t get into the pizza business to be average. Neither did we. Our founder Filippo Candela immigrated to the U.S. from Montelepre, Sicily bringing his passion for authentic Italian cheesemaking with him. For over 80 years, we have been building the Grande name in the U.S. by crafting nothing less than the Finest Italian Cheeses Money Can Buy!™.

Afino by Grande was created to share this cheese with independent operators in Mexico. Uncompromising operators like you, whose pizza is the pride of your family and the neighborhood you serve. To exceed your expectations, we make cheeses of unparalleled consistency, flavor and performance.
Afino by Grande. There are no shortcuts. There is no substitute.
