Ciao!
We are Seriously Italian and we are here to make it easy to try Local, Seasonal, Ethical and unmistakably Italian food.
We started in 2008 by selling our fresh pesto at London Farmers Markets. We loved working next to the real farmers so much, we started making lasagne, ravioli and gnocchi “field to fork” using seasonal British produce directly from the farmers next to us.
And of course our pasta is made mostly by hand, in small batches using traditional methods and bronze dye – we are Seriously Italians after all. Want to know more? Watch our story on BBC
OUR VALUES
SEASONAL
Food tastes much better when it is fresh, and it’s difficult to find local aubergines in winter. Seasons give us variety, the joy of expectation and something to look forward to. Food would be boring otherwise.
ETHICAL
We try our best to use the most sustainable and recyclable packaging available for fresh food – all our packaging is 100% recyclable. Our production is run on 100% renewable green energy and for deliveries we’ve partnered up with brilliant zero emissions ZED couriers. We only use free-range beef from Woodwards farm and our eggs come from free-range hens in Sussex.
LOCAL
Being local is very important to us, so much so that everything we make was inspired by British growers and farmers trading next to us at Farmers Markets. Most of our ingredients are pretty much field to fork. The lovely vegetables and herbs we use to make pesto, lasagne, ravioli fillings and gnocchi are delivered to us directly from a family farm www.tedsveg.co.uk. They grow all their produce free of chemicals and areproud participants in Planzhero’s plight to eradicate wastage.
AUTHENTIC
Our food carries our culture, our knowledge and heritage that we bring to our cooking – that is what truly makes it Italian. And, yes, a sprinkle of Parmigiano Reggiano on top, just to avoid confusion.
