The story of Sunrise Bakery begins in Rome, Italy. Giulio Forti, a seasoned Roman baker, ventures to Minnesota’s Iron Range seeking the promise of America. In 1913, he starts baking authentic Italian Breads. Sunrise Bakery is born.
Marked by humble beginnings, hand-made goods and horse drawn carriages, Sunrise Bakery would grow from its original brick oven to a regional and national distributor of high quality, hand-crafted breads and baked goods. It would grow from authentic Italian breads to a producer of all the region's unique ethnic cuisine.
Now in its fourth generation, our tradition of scratch baking continues. After learning the trade from his Grandfather Vincent, fourth generation owner and baker, Paul Forti, continues our legacy of creating high quaity goods, made from scratch, without preservatives.
We exuberantly welcome our second century and take immense pride in the Forti family's many successes in crafting high quality food, including: Sunrise Deli & Sunrise Creative Gourmet and Sunrise Deli, Hibbing, MN; The Iron Ranger, St. Paul, MN; and Three Spoon Bakery, Edina, MN.
May each hand-crafted delicacy bring you to your table. For the power of real food has always been in its ability to bring us together.
Salute!
The Forti Family
