If you turn left as you walk in, you head into the cheese room, a market area that has every cheese you can think of. As you continue into the building, you will find many different kinds of olive oil, available fresh from the keg. They offer bottles, or you can bring your own, to fill and use with all of your cooking, and all at a relatively affordable price. They also carry fresh produce and provide local restaurants and markets with food service supplies. Penn Mac is a place that you need to check out if you are visiting the city.

Great Italian goodies! I get my pizza supplies. Great people too!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a child in the 1960's, I went here several times a month with my Dad and Grandfather. At that time, there were few places on the strip that were suited to the public, most were wholesalers. Several used sawdust to keep their floors dry. Our regular routine always began at Penn Mac, then Parma Sausage, and last Robert Wholey's where we'd often eat a fish sandwich standing in front of the fish tanks before heading home. If I recall correctly the business closed at noon on Saturdays,so we usually left around lunchtime. In the winter, we'd eat in the car tearing apart fresh Italian bread, and eating it with the cheeses and meats. Whenever I go home to PA, I visit here. Although it no longer has the same character, this place still brings back warm memories and I am so thankful they remain in business. A treasure.
