The Turano Bread Company

THE HISTORY OF THE TURANO BREAD COMPANY

The people of Chicago always have a reason to celebrate…one of those reasons is having a rich food scene. You name it, and most likely Chicago will have it. Whether it’s hot dogs or Italian beef, Chicago has you covered. Nothing like some fresh homemade bread to add to your dish – The Turano Bread Company. Turano is one the Chicago staples, up there with another Chicago darling Vienna Beef. Turano has humble beginnings to having joint partnerships with the Chicago Cubs. This once little bread factory has its roots in the town of Berwyn, Il.

Mariano Turano arrived to the United States from Calabria, Italy, with the purpose of creating a better life for his family. Mr. Turano bought a small bake shop on the Chicago westside, where he focused and hone his craft on creating the same old-fashioned Italian Round Bread he baked in Italy. Soon enough, Turano’s bake shop won over the people in the surrounding area and neighborhood. With the success and popularity of the bake shop motivated Marrano’s brothers, Eugenio and Carmen, to partner up and establish Turano Bakery in Berwyn, Il. The sheer talent for their bread baking skills would soon make them a darling amongst other Italian bakeries in the Chicagoland area.
