Welcome to Savoria, the home of 'i veri sapori d’Italia', the true Tastes of Italy.
Here you will find food created by artisan Italian producers, masters in their field, who are recognised as such in the most demanding marketplace, Italy.
Try us out… in return for your trust, we will give you a true taste for the Dolce Vita.
Imagine you are taken on a gastronomic tour around Italy visiting the best farmers markets up and down the country, and even hopping over to the islands, where you can cherry pick the finest foods each region has to offer, speak to the producers about how, where, when they made their produce and, to top it all, have your goodies delivered direct to your doorstep. Sounds interesting?
Well that’s exactly what you can ‘virtually’ experience at Savoria.
 We are constantly scouring the country for you to be able to:
- discover previously hidden gems of Italian gastronomy;
- select and enjoy ‘what is produced at its best in Italy’;
- carefully avoid the sometimes subtly misleading products that often tempt the eye but unfortunately disappoint the palate;
- receive in the comfort of your home or office, your order of goodies directly and freshly from Italy by courier transport.
The Dolce Vita is just a click away…
At Savoria, we strongly believe that good food is about taste yes but also identity. Knowing where the product comes from, who the producer is, how it is made and that it is one of the finest examples of its kind all contribute to your level of appreciation and enjoyment when eating it…
One does not develop a taste for wine by drinking lots of ‘cheap’ bottles of plonk! It is the same with Italian food!
Italy, like any country, has as well its own food industry making ‘food to feed’, rather than ‘food to truly enjoy’. Not content with making brands just for supermarkets, they are now also targeting fine food retailers and delicatessens with the same products only packaged in an artisan fashion. When judging just by the looks, one doesn’t always have the capacity to tell the real artisans from the fakes. Some manufacturers and distributors go to great lengths to dress up their products as ‘hand-made’, ‘the finest’, ‘traditional’, ‘genuine’, 'with natural aroma', ‘speciality food’, ‘authentic’, ‘number 1 in Italy’, you get the picture…
Well, we want to bring back the true meaning to these over-exploited words.
Savoria was founded as we realised that the vast majority of ‘Italian’ products sold in this country were a far cry from what Italy really produces at its best. Savoria is a company with a soul (several of them actually!) and an ethic: offering what Italy produces at its best – pure & simple – straight forward – no marketing ploy - no fuss – no own brand smoke screen – You get it like an Italian gastronome would.

These are a few of our producer friends… happy bunch aren’t they! You can read about each of them by clicking on their photo.
We currently offer around 300 products cherry-picked from more than 90 artisan producers, all of whom are personally involved in their craft, passionate about what they do and the way they do it. These people, both men and women, old and young (fortunately!), are guardians of a certain food culture, with a passion for excellence.
We can’t be sure that you will like every single product selected by Savoria as this is a matter of personal taste, but we do guarantee you that they all belong to what Italy produces at its best.
In case you may wonder how Savoria differs from other Italian importers/distributors - what makes us so unique - the answer is simple:
- If you have heard about us, it is because someone has talked about us. Our products are regularly raved about in the national press and top any taste comparisons - we do not need to advertise or advertorialise (ie, pay for coverage) - all our press is written willingly by independent journalists. Read some of our press clippings.
- None of the products we have selected can be found in supermarkets or retail multiples in the UK. Nor for that matter, can they be found in these distribution channels in Italy...
- None of our products are branded with a distributor's or importer's name and logo. What is the point to hide the producer and origins?!
Every single one of our products are among what is produced at its best in Italy - punto basta.
For you to enjoy in all confidence 'the true Tastes of Italy'!
We should never lose sight of the fact that :
- What is sold cheap is produced cheap;
- Packaging is the only thing one doesn't eat when buying food items;
- Food should be viewed as more than just fuel, at a time when it seems we are eating too much, it might be about time to eat better.
