Since the very beginning of our journey, our choices have always been driven by our passion for fine foods and authentic Italian ingredients, which we source from the best producers across Italy, to bring Irish consumers only the finest and authentic flavours of the traditional Italian culinary heritage.

We select top quality meats and cheeses from the best producers in Italy then prepare, cut and pack them in our state of the art production room in county Wicklow.

We slice our meats fresh, not frozen, to ensure the quality remains at the highest level.
