Crosta Mollica are here to bring the best of Italian food to kitchens and tables everywhere, but they’re passionate about making a positive contribution to the planet too. The Crosta & Mollica story began in the Italian countryside in 2009. The founder, James, was working for a company that imported Italian fruit, and as he travelled from region to region – meeting fruit farmers, their families and their workers – he saw how much love and effort Italians put into crafting their food & enjoying it together. Today, they’re still busily criss-crossing Italy in search of authentic, artisanal and regional Italian specialties that deserve to be in the kitchens and on the tables of food-lovers across the UK, Europe & beyond. From pizza to pasta, desserts, aperitivo snacks & fresh bakery products, they bring consumers the best, most authentic Italian foods, that are always made in Italy. They have always been more than just profit driven. They have long term relationships with their amazing, usually family-owned suppliers in Italy. Crosta & Mollica have always recognised and worked to improve the social and environmental impact, but also see that there’s much more to do. They’re working through a five-year plan that will focus on two areas: planet and people.
