Authentic Italian Food…

Italian food is popular all around the world, influencing dining habits and cuisine far beyond Italy itself – including here in Jersey and the UK.

Italian food embraces national staples like pizza and pasta and a vast range of regional specialities, all with their own distinctive ingredients and styles. What they share is a basic simplicity, with the focus on a few good-quality ingredients rather than complex prep and cooking techniques.

As the leading food wholesaler, we can provide all the ingredients, pre-prepared dishes and catering supplies you need to prepare and serve authentic Italian food, whatever your kitchen skill level, price point and customer profile.
