If you live in Los Angeles and have ever been to The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills or Silver Lake, then you have probably tried some of Dominick DiBartolomeo’s products. And if you haven’t, then you should.

Italian founder Dominick of Domenico’s Foods brings fresh pestos, tapenades, sauces, pastas and more to the greater Los Angeles area. Starting out crafting sun-dried tomatoes in New York, Dominick went on to develop more of his beloved family recipes. Now, his Italian specialties can be found not only at both of The Cheese Stores, but also at many of the local Farmer’s Markets in Los Angeles.

Italians have a saying: “Ars longa, vita brevis,” meaning, “Art is long, life is short.” I think it’s about time we learn a lesson from the Italians, press pause on our busy lives, and instead relax and enjoy food as art. Especially when the food looks this good.
