Po Valley & Lazio Artisan Guild

Northern & Central Italy

A loose alliance of small producers across two regions — rice growers in the Po Valley, and cheese and cured-meat artisans further south in Lazio — who supply in smaller, named batches rather than through a single large distributor.

Marco Bellini & Lucia Conti

Marco grows rice in the Po Valley, Lucia ages cheese and cures pork two regions south — they coordinate every harvest week by phone, batch by batch.

Marco: 'We've never met in person. We just trust each other's word on quality.'

Our sourcing philosophy

We'd rather buy from four small named producers than one large anonymous supplier, even when it's more work to coordinate.
