Our story
Imagine bringing the essence of Italy—its flavors, traditions, and vibrant soul—right to your table. This is how CIBO Excellence began: as a vision shared among friends passionate about celebrating the richness of Italian gastronomy.
It all started as a journey across the Italian peninsula, discovering the extraordinary dedication of local producers and their deep connection to tradition. From the rolling hills of Umbria to the sunlit coasts of Sicily, each encounter reinforced the value of authentic craftsmanship and the power of food to connect people.
What began as an idea quickly took shape through partnerships with artisans like Grechi Perticari and Cantina Berioli, whose work reflects the true spirit of Italy. These collaborations showed us that the heart of Italian cuisine lies not only in its ingredients but in the passion and care behind every detail.
The road wasn’t without challenges. Navigating sourcing, logistics, and introducing authentic Italian excellence to new markets required determination and creativity. But seeing our first shipments arrive in the United States and featured at places like Perusia restaurant in New Jersey was a moment of pride and a reminder of how far we had come.
Each product we select, from artisanal olive oils to organic wines and handcrafted pastas, carries a unique story. These are not simply goods; they are experiences that celebrate Italy’s rich culinary heritage while embracing fresh, creative expressions.
At its core, CIBO Excellence is about connection. It’s about bringing people together—through a shared meal or an appreciation for quality and authenticity. As we continue to grow, we remain dedicated to honoring the traditions that inspire us while exploring new possibilities.
Join us on this journey. Together, we can celebrate the richness of Italian culture, savor its unique flavors, and create moments of joy and meaning around the table.
