About Us

Tony Tantillo, The Fresh Grocer                  tonyt@tonytantillo.com

Produce expert Tony Tantillo has the inside squeeze on oranges, melons, tomatoes and much more. His live and syndicated "Fresh Grocer" segments have been featured on news broadcasts in major metro markets since 1993. Tony interjects valuable selection, storage and preparation tips, plus nutritional information into his produce-tips-of-the-day in a way television and radio audiences love to see and hear… honest, concise and highly entertaining. Now Tony brings his expertise to the Internet at TonyTantillo.com.

Born in Sicily, Tony moved to San Francisco at the age of five and grew up working with his father in the South San Francisco produce markets and later in his family's successful produce business. He has literally spent his entire life immersed in the world of fresh produce.

Tony's enthusiasm as the "Fresh Grocer" is an extension of his life spent around fruits, vegetables and his mother's flavorful, healthful Mediterranean cooking. With his connections in the national and local produce industries, his knowledge of nutrition, and his energetic on-camera personality, you have the perfect recipe for a popular and trusted source for consumers. Beyond giving his audience recommendations on the best produce to buy, Tony educates them on the important characteristics of fresh fruits or vegetables. He also teaches consumers how to recognize produce that might be too costly, of poor quality, or not yet at the peak of freshness. As a consumer advocate, he emphasizes "selection first" - encouraging all of us to think of quality, value and nutritional benefits when selecting our favorite produce… but he does not stop there.

Short of actually sitting down to dinner with consumers, Tony also lets his audience in on produce storage secrets, and suggests "interesting ways to prepare and enjoy all produce." Tony's tips also emphasize the nutritional benefits derived from the consumption of fresh produce. Not only does he talk about vitamins and minerals found in each particular produce, he explains how to ensure that these vitamins and minerals remain at their peak from the initial selection process to the final preparation. Tony stresses the positive benefits for our bodies of this all important food group and focuses on educating our kids about how eating fruits and vegetables can be cool.

"Eat Fresh & Stay Healthy", is not only Tony Tantillo's tag line at the end of each of his "Fresh Grocer" segments, it is a dedicated lifestyle that gives us a dynamic, robust and energetic talent……Tony Tantillo, your "Fresh Grocer".
