In 1926, the Taranto family migrated from Alicudi (a small Sicilian Island in Italy) to Australia. Bartolo Taranto (Bob) opened his first Greengrocer store a few years later located at Glenferrie Road Malvern. This would be the commencement of the Taranto’s three generations of fruit. Sam Taranto (son of Bob) had an early introduction to the fruit shop, helping his father when ever possible. Sam followed in his fathers foot steps and opened his first greengrocer in Prahran in 1960. Michael Taranto, (son of Sam) was inspired to also to follow in his fathers footsteps, opening his first store with his father at the age of 17. With over 70 years experience between the three Taranto generations, the family tradition continues…..Michael now brings some of the old traditions back to Malvern, with friendly service and fresh quality products for you to enjoy!
