"I go as far back with Isaly Chipped Chopped Ham as with my first teddy bear. It was my favorite lunch meat when I was a girl and I still buy it today."   Judy Hlister, Mount Lebanon, PA

"My husband has cousins in New Jersey and New York...and when we go up there we always take them Isaly's Chipped Ham. They grew up with it and that's a treat to them."   Becky Ruane, East Pittsburgh, PA

Have an Isaly's memory to share? You could star in a commercial. Click here. Starting in the early 1930s, Isaly's deli and dairy products were sold exclusively in Isaly's own chain of bright, white-tiled stores with "Isaly's" written large above the doors. Now, with changed lifestyles, those stores are mostly a fond memory. But the Isaly's brand of meats and cheeses lives on, in supermarket delis and convenience stores throughout Western Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia, parts of Maryland and Virginia, too. Generation after generation, the brand remains a family tradition.

From our beginnings in the early 1900s, the Isaly's family and its successors have pursued one mission: bringing your family deli and dairy products of consistent freshness, purity, and unbeatable flavor, made according to original Isaly's recipes. Isaly's is probably known best for our "signature" product, Original Chipped Chopped Ham, along with Old-Fashioned Baked Deli Ham - and Isaly's Ice Cream in eight original flavors. (The famed Isaly's "Skyscraper" Cone was hand-dipped at Isaly's store counters with a special patented scooper.) Today Isaly's Ice Cream is sold in packages at select independent grocery and convenience stores, where you'll also find Isaly's cheeses - American, Swiss, Hot Pepper. Your trust has to be earned, and Isaly's is proud to have earned it, decade after decade, with retailers who stock and display its products, and with consumers like you, who, for close to a century, have made those products family staples.
