About Us
the world's finest.
the world's finest.
DeMedici has never been simply an importer. Since our founding, our role has been to introduce — to bring something unknown, exceptional, and authentic to a market that didn't yet know it was missing it.
We call it taste education. It means traveling to the source, learning the story behind what's in the jar or the bottle, and sharing that knowledge with every retailer, chef, and home cook who carries our products.
Our collection spans Italy, France, Spain, Greece, and Argentina — oils, vinegars, pastas, mustards, sauces, and pantry essentials, each one selected because it represents the highest expression of its kind.
Every product in the DeMedici portfolio has earned its place. Nothing is carried for convenience. Everything is carried for quality.
Every brand in the DeMedici portfolio is a relationship built over years — often generations. We travel to understand how a product is made, who makes it, and why it matters before we bring it to American shelves.
That's why the food media and culinary authorities have consistently turned to DeMedici as the standard for each product class.

DeMedici's 2007 partnership with Gellert Global Group, and subsequent integration with Atalanta Corporation in 2015, gave our curated portfolio access to one of the most powerful specialty food distribution networks in North America — without changing what we are.
DeMedici remains DeMedici: independent in spirit, uncompromising in standard.

HISTORY
Founded in 1979, De Medici sources specialty foods crafted by artisans who produce the finest quality the world has to offer. De Medici was the first to introduce Tuscan extra-virgin olive oil to the United States retail market. In the more than 42 years since, the company has been a leader in taste education for the specialty food community.
In 2007, De Medici joined the Gellert Global Group to find a wider audience for their specialty products. In 2015, De Medici officially became a part of Atalanta. Through growth and change, De Medici has remained committed to its core mission -to honor a rich legacy of traditional high quality artisan food production passed down for generations.
