Our Story

Welcome to Tiramiassu, a labor of love that finds its roots from the heart of Napoli, Italy, and blossoms into the delectable treasure we share with you today. Our story is one of heritage, passion, and the culinary magic woven by the hands of our beloved Nonna Assunta.

In the 1960s, Nonna Assunta embarked on a journey that spanned oceans, bringing with her the essence of Napoli to Canadian soil. As she settled in this new land, she carried not just her suitcase but a treasure trove of culinary skills and the vibrant spirit of Italian tradition. With unwavering dedication, she infused her family's daily lives with the flavors of Italy, becoming a guardian of our heritage and a preserver of time-honored traditions.

The kitchen, under Nonna's watchful eye, became a sacred space where recipes whispered tales of generations past, where the aroma of simmering sauces and freshly baked desserts transported us to the cobblestone streets of Napoli. Nonna's hands, seasoned by years of kneading dough and stirring pots, were the conduits through which the soul of our culture flowed.

Among the many gifts she bestowed upon us, one stood out like a beacon of sweetness – her homemade tiramisu. A concoction of love, tradition, and the finest ingredients, this dessert became the pièce de résistance of our family gatherings. Nonna, with absolute pride in her heart, would pass down the recipe, ensuring that the legacy of her culinary artistry continued through the generations.

The journey from family gatherings to the birth of Tiramiassu was a natural evolution fueled by the voices of those who tasted Nonna's masterpiece. Family and friends, captivated by the exquisite flavors and textures, insisted that this tiramisu was too good not to share with the world. Their persistent encouragement became the catalyst that propelled us to turn our kitchen magic into a business.

In 2022, we unveiled Tiramiassu, a brand that pays homage to our Nonna Assunta. The name, spoken with love and reverence, reflects the Neapolitan roots that infuse every layer of our tiramisu. "From Napoli with Love" is not just a tagline; it's a promise, a commitment to sharing the authentic flavors of Napoli with each and every bite.

As you savor the velvety layers of our tiramisu, you are not just indulging in a dessert; you are experiencing the culmination of decades of love, tradition, and the indomitable spirit of Nonna Assunta's kitchen. Thank you for joining us on this heartfelt journey, where every sweet creation is a testament to the enduring magic of family, tradition, and the love that transcends borders. Welcome to Tiramiassu, where every bite is a taste of Napoli, crafted with love and passed down through generations. Buon Appetito!
