In the early 1900s, the Taranto family left Filicudi and Alicudi, Italy, in search of new horizons. They settled in Brooklyn’s Carroll Gardens, working the shipping docks before founding Taranto Brothers Grocery in Upstate New York—a lasting emblem of grit and community.

Generations later, their great-grandson carried that same spirit forward with the creation of CS Instant Coffee.

Still independent and family-owned, CS continues the Taranto legacy with the same dedication and care that started it all.
