Company description

As importers of fine Italian food, we work with Italian food producers who have been using the same land to grow the same crops to make the same dishes for centuries. They create specialties exclusive to their own regions’ microclimates, whose character is impossible to duplicate elsewhere. We want to inspire our buyers and customers with the stories our products tell: of long, proud traditions of Italian culinary craft adapted to the American table.
