In 2015, Lahey was the first recipient of the Outstanding Baker James Beard Award, followed in 2016 by an induction into the foundation's Who's Who in Food and Beverage America.

The heart of Mozzarita comes from Vito Volpe, born and raised in a poor family of farmers from the ancient city of Conversano, Italy. It was under the loving, careful eye of his mother that Vito's passion for making cheese was born. His dream of sharing his passion for Italian handmade cheese led him to South Florida in 2005, where he established Mozzarita in Pompano Beach. His family-owned and operated cheese factory began to grow, and within five years, Mozzarita became immensely popular with specialty markets in the surrounding areas. Now, Mozzarita products can also be found on the shelves of most supermarkets in South Florida, in addition to the Loews Coral Gables Hotel.
