One of Thomastown’s biggest drawcards That’s Amore Cheese will launch an online delivery service in a bid to save jobs amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Owner of the Latitude Boulevard retailer Giorgio Linguanti said the business, which prior to the restrictions supplied restaurants and cafes across the country, had suffered a drop in sales.
The company has launched an online shop with a “no contact” delivery policy.
“As the hospitality industry is challenged with the current crisis, so too are producers such as us,” Mr Linguanti said.
“We want to keep our workers in the factory producing our delicious range of cheeses, so the team has worked quickly to get an online store up and running.
“Now everyone in Melbourne can shop for That’s Amore products without leaving the house.”

Mr Linguanti said the cafe chefs would continue making fresh pastas and pizzas, as well as ready-to-heat meals for takeaway.
He also said an essential box priced at $40 would provide all the basics including pasta sauce, 500g pasta, 2L That’s Amore Milk, a dozen free range eggs, 1kg of ricotta, 250g of scamorza bianca, 250g of cacio cheese and crostini di grano.

Delivery is free for orders over $40 for up to 15km from the That’s Amore Cheese factory and free delivery for orders over $120 for the rest of Melbourne — up to 25km from Thomastown — otherwise delivery is from $10.
