Why BBD transparency matters for Italian imports
Best Before Date (BBD) is the manufacturer's recommended date for peak product quality. For imported Italian food — which travels long distances through distribution chains — knowing the BBD before you commit to an order is critical for managing inventory, reducing waste, and ensuring your customers receive fresh, quality product. We list it on every product, every time — something most distributors don't do.
Wholesale Italian food with no order minimums
Many distributors require large minimums that don't work for independent businesses. We don't. There is no order minimum — buy as little as one case of imported pasta, one case of EVOO, or any combination across brands. You can mix Colavita pasta with San Carlo chips and Giusti balsamic in a single order. No per-brand minimums either.
