OUR STORY

The accident

After a serious accident, Matteo Caloia was told to load up on protein and calcium to heal. Instead of powders or bars, he went back to his childhood favorite: the Parmesan rind. It was simple, pure, and full of flavor. He just wished it crunched.

The accident

The discovery

A year later, Matteo and his best friend Kai started experimenting in their UChicago dorm. Late nights, small batches, handwritten bags. Friends tried them and instantly wanted more.

The discovery

The idea

They transformed the humble rind into something new. Oven baked, protein packed, naturally lactose free, and made from real aged cheese. Clean ingredients, bold flavor, and real crunch.
