Italian specialty foods built for professional distribution
Since 1984, Palimex has sourced and distributed Italian specialty foods for professionals at wholesale scale: delicatessens, restaurants, caterers and foodservice chains that want an authentic transalpine offer without juggling multiple suppliers. Our Italian Flavours catalogue brings together three main product families — savoury baked snacks, marinated antipasti, and vegetable-based sauces and creams — all packed for professional use in multi-unit cases, large-format jars or multi-kilo buckets.
This lineup answers a concrete need for professional buyers: finding, on a single page, everything needed to build a coherent Italian offer for a shelf, a bread basket or an aperitif platter, without going through a supplier dedicated solely to Italian imports. Every item is chosen for the consistency of its recipe from one order to the next, a criterion just as important as price for a professional who must guarantee the same customer experience at every service.
Savoury baked snacks: taralli, schiacciatine, grissinotti and cantucci
The first family covers wholesale Italian savoury snacking: classico and fennel taralli in cases of 15x200-220g, schiacciatine available in five flavours — rosemary, sesame, chilli, olive, onion — packed in cases of 12x150g, thin grissinotti plain, sesame, rosemary or olive in cases of 12x200g, and almond cantucci for coffee or dessert service. These multi-pack case formats make it easy to stock a delicatessen shelf and rotate stock at a foodservice outlet without supply gaps between deliveries.
This segment works particularly well in a bread basket or alongside a cheese and charcuterie platter, two frequent uses among our restaurant and catering clients.
Antipasti and marinated vegetables: olives, artichokes, capers and garlic
The second family gathers the wholesale Italian antipasti most requested by foodservice professionals: green Neapolitan olives and giant Bella Cerignola olives from Italy in 5kg buckets, Saporite oil-cured olives in a 4.7kg bucket, whole or grilled cut-heart Romana artichokes in 2.8kg jars, caper flowers and small capers in jars of over a kilo, and three marinated garlic variants — spicy, mild in olive oil, herb-marinated — in cases of 12x300g. These items cover both a restaurant's antipasti platter and a delicatessen's deli counter.
| Product family | Available items | Packaging | Professional use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Savoury baked snacks | Taralli, schiacciatine, grissinotti, cantucci | Cases of 12 to 15 units | Bread basket, aperitif, coffee service |
| Marinated antipasti | Olives, artichokes, capers, marinated garlic | Buckets and jars of 1.7 to 5kg | Antipasti platter, deli counter |
| Sauces and creams | Agromonte creams, tomato sauce, sun-dried tomatoes | Jars of 1.6 to 2.85kg, cases of 12x33cl | Kitchen use, spreads, cooked dishes |
| Seasonal specialties | Panettone, origin Italy | Single unit, 750g | End-of-year holidays |
Agromonte sauces, creams and sun-dried tomatoes
The third family gathers Italian sauces and creams in professional format: Agromonte pepper cream, artichoke cream or crema rustica in 1.6-1.7kg jars sold in pairs, Agromonte tomato sauce in 33cl jars sold by the case of twelve, and sun-dried tomatoes in three formats — a 2.85kg Dispac jar, a 5kg bucket, or semi-dried candied tomato in a 4x1kg case. These items let a professional build spreads, sauce bases or garnishes for cooked dishes without a long kitchen transformation step.
Storage, logistics and choosing the right format
Dry products such as taralli, schiacciatine, grissinotti and cantucci keep at room temperature in their original case, away from moisture. Antipasti jars and buckets, once opened, must be refrigerated and consumed within a few days — a point professional kitchens need to factor into stock management.
We choose our Italian suppliers for the consistency of their recipes rather than for range effect: a tight selection of reliable items beats a wide catalogue with uneven quality.
To choose between formats, a professional buyer should weigh several criteria:
- How often the product turns over on the shelf or in the kitchen, which determines the most cost-effective format between case, jar or bucket.
- Shelf life after opening, particularly for jarred antipasti.
- Fit with the service style: aperitif platter, buffet, or cooked dish.
- Consistency with the rest of the outlet's Italian range.
As with all our imported specialty foods, labelling and consumer information fall under general food regulation; professional buyers can check applicable requirements with the EFSA, the European Food Safety Authority, the EU's reference body for food safety. Our teams remain available to advise on the format best suited to a given service or shelf, drawing on decades of experience distributing Italian specialty foods to French foodservice professionals.
