Moo-Na Lisa Cheese Bread is made exclusively for Sigona’s using a cheese that’s also made exclusively for Sigona’s. You really can’t get much more one-of-a-kind than that!
Mac McConnell, master baker at The Midwife & The Baker in Mountain View, and his baking team use savory herbs, freshly milled flour and our Moo-Na Lisa Cheese to make and bake us loaves of this incredible bread.
Moo-Na Lisa cheese is a Gouda-Gruyere style cheese that is made exclusively for Sigona’s by award-winning master cheesemaker Reggie Jones of Central Coast Creamery. Jones and John Nava, our specialty foods & cheese curator, worked out details for Jones to make a cheese that combined elements from two of our customer-favorite cheeses: Gouda and Gruyere.
Jones came through and then some with Moo-Na Lisa. It has won many awards over the years at national cheese contests, and the Moo-Na Lisa reserve, which is aged 11 months, has been named one of the best cheeses in the world! Sigona’s is he only place you can find it.

Fresh Crab Melts on Sigona’s Moo-Na Lisa Cheese & Herb Bread
These open-faced crab melts are absolutely delicious. Don't skimp on the lemon zest! That is what really enhances the flavor and the brightness of the entire sandwich.
We have many mushrooms at Sigona's - both fresh and dried. The Maitake, also known as Hen-of-the-Woods, is a deliciously nutritious mushroom with a slightly earthy, almost woody flavor. They're loaded with vitamin D and make a nice addition to anything from soup to quesadillas. They're also an excellent meat substitute, if you're in the mood for a meat-free or vegetarian-based meal. We love how John Sigona used them to zhuzh up a pizza for a get together he held over the weekend where we watched "Handsome Stranger," an indie movie made a few years back by our own John Nava!
Organic Maitake mushrooms are on sale this week (Feb. 21, 2025) at $4 off a pound (sale price available for a limited time). Now's your chance to come try them! Visit us in Redwood City and Palo Alto, Calif.
