The respect of exemplary products

A selection of  food products, from Italy and all over the world. The distribution is always within 24 hours after receiving the order and it is addressed to over 4 thousand protagonists of the best Italian and International catering. This is the aim of Selecta, a firm established in 1989 and now leader in its industry.

The history began a few years before, in 1985, in the province of Ferrara (Emilia Romagna), with the first Toulouse goose farming, a goose race proper to the production of Foie Gras. It is in this moment that Guido Bruzzo, Luciana Schena and Roberto Melloni , the three charter members, start to explore the world of high quality catering. They start to understand the necessities of a clientele looking for products that don’t agree to compromise, high quality raw materials and high quality management of these products. In addition, products are not distributed using many mediation steps as it happens in the classic distribution. In fact, Selecta is a link “between origin and ready to eat products” because we think that the only way to keep the product with its proper freshness or maturing is to respect food products time.

Today in an over 5 thousand  square metres department, which is organised following strict conservation and distribution standards are placed products come from over 10 Countries in the wide world. They are not imported to go along with an exotic taste, but in order to locate the best producers in their field, everywhere they are,  and to gave them chef expectations and  get their knowledge to be shared with users. This process is always done with a great attention and respect to the agro-industrial Italian tradition. These excellence products are divided into several commodity categories through which Selecta organises its offer: meat; cold meat; fish; rice; grains and pulses; seasonings, spices and herbs; cheeses; vegetables, aromatic plants and flowers; finally confectionery products. These categories are characterised by great competence and care of each producer.
