Our Story

Born from a memory. Built on a belief. Guided by authenticity.

Nonnina Mia was born from a memory.

A memory of kitchens full of life. Of tables surrounded by family. Of recipes prepared slowly, with patience and care. It is inspired by a way of living where food was never simply something to eat, but a way of bringing people together. Growing up surrounded by the rhythms of the countryside, we learned that great food begins long before it reaches the table. It starts in the fields, in the hands of producers who respect the land, and in traditions passed from one generation to the next. At the center of those memories was the Nonnina — the grandmother whose kitchen became a place of learning, sharing, and connection. Through her, we discovered that food carries stories. Stories of people, places, cultures, and traditions worth preserving. Those experiences became the foundation of Nonnina Mia. Today, we seek and share authentic products rooted in origin, craftsmanship, and culinary heritage. Products that remind us that food can still be honest, meaningful, and made with soul. Because the best ingredients do more than nourish. They connect us to where we come from and to the people we share them with.

The Founder

Fabio Ciraulo

A Life Rooted in Tradition

Fabio Ciraulo
Before Nonnina Mia became a brand, it was a memory. Fabio Ciraulo was born in Malnate, a small town in northern Italy surrounded by lakes, farmland, and the natural beauty of the countryside. Growing up among fields, family gardens, and seasonal harvests, he developed an early appreciation for the connection between food, agriculture, and community. Many of his most meaningful memories were spent alongside his grandmother his Nonnina. In her kitchen, meals were prepared with patience, ingredients were treated with respect, and every gathering around the table became an opportunity to create memories. In 2005, Fabio moved to the United States and made Miami his home. Throughout his career, he worked with producers, partners, and communities across different parts of the world. While every culture had its own traditions and customs, he discovered something universal: people come together around food. Inspired by the lessons learned from his grandmother, his experiences in agriculture, and the cultures he encountered throughout his journey, Fabio founded Nonnina Mia to celebrate authentic products, culinary heritage, and the timeless tradition of bringing people together around the table.

There is an old Italian saying:

"At the table, we do not grow old."

"As a child, I did not fully understand its meaning. Today, I do. I have learned that some of life's most precious moments are born in a kitchen, carried by the aroma of a family recipe and shared around a table with the people we love. It is there that stories are told, traditions are passed from one generation to the next, and memories are created that stay with us forever. For a little while, time seems to slow down, almost standing still. That is what Nonnina Mia represents to me.
"At the table, we do not grow old."
