About Us
WHAT WE DO
L’AQUILA is a trusted specialist supplier of Mediterranean vegetable ingredients with a client list that includes leading food manufacturers, food to go chains, supermarkets, foodservice and retail operators.
Innovation and flexibility
For more than three decades we have been assisting product evolution to successfully develop our own ranges and bespoke vegetable ingredients that include pizza, pasta and sandwich toppings, deli counter and specialist ready meal inclusions. Our vegan and vegetarian range includes wild and exotic dried mushrooms, truffles and truffle products, chargrilled and roasted Mediterranean vegetables (artichokes, peppers, aubergines, courgettes, onions, mushrooms and other related ingredients), olives with provenance, sun-dried and semi-dried tomatoes, vegetable purées, selected Italian pulses and cereals, smoked paprika and saffron.
Our clients implicitly trust our production and logistics experience and love that we are small enough to be flexible, but large enough to meet their requests and impart advice by keeping ahead of consumer trends and tastes. Modern and proactive, the company moves with the market thanks to a lively NPD group always researching, anticipating and following new trends.
Technical expertise and foodie enthusiasm
Our team of skilled, passionate foodies care deeply about our products and the people that grow, forage and create them. The strong and long-standing partnerships we have forged with each of our partners guarantee the provenance and traceability of our superb tasting products and reliability of their supply.
To ensure the highest quality of each of our products, each ingredient is refined by deeply knowledgeable specialists who understand just what makes them unique, and each of these partners is regularly audited to meet all British food standards.
