Retail
In 1987 L’AQUILA started supplying truffles and dried mushrooms to the UK independent retailers, and developing innovative products based on them. By the early 90s, the company’s name was synonymous with wild fungi and truffles when the market was still rather niche – but as soon as celebrity chefs hit TV screens and declared porcini a ‘store cupboard ingredient’, L’AQUILA's products started being stocked in major department stores and supermarkets.
Alongside our own brands, we have developed various trade marks, from Shake O’Cini™ porcini powder, Fungi Foray™, dried mushroom, to different truffle and mushroom sauces and condiments (La Truffata™, Salsa Truffina™, Truffoil™). Retailers appreciate that we come from a successful restaurateur background, which has equipped us with an intimate understanding of the products that we supply together with our in-depth knowledge of UK consumer trends.
Our retail products include:
- Fungi Foray™ – A range of premium dried wild and exotic cultivated mushrooms
- Shake O’Cini™ – Porcini powder tin shaker, one of our most popular products
- Truffoil™ – We were one of the first in the UK to introduce the famous oil infused with truffle flavouring
- Truffore ™ - An array of preserved whole, minced and marinated truffles, truffle pastes, sauces and condiments
- Sorriso™ – A range of further processed ready to eat Mediterranean vegetables roasted and or char-grilled.
Each of the premium Mediterranean food specialities that we offer provides a guarantee of quality and competitive pricing, whilst our in-house team delivers a level of care and support that only a passionate niche business can provide.
