ALL FOOD is your Italian food supplier and export partner for Australia, based in Tuscany. We source authentic Italian food from established producers, quality-check every batch and prepare the origin and food-safety paperwork your Australian importer, customs broker and retail customers ask for. Our team runs the Italy side of the supply chain so your buying and logistics teams can focus on the Australian market.
ALL FOOD is a sourcing and export partner, not a manufacturer and not the Australian importer of record. We do not hold import permits and we do not guarantee biosecurity or customs clearance, which is the role of your Australian importer and licensed broker. What we do guarantee is that the paperwork leaving Italy is complete, accurate and ready for Department of Agriculture assessment and customs entry.
What we supply to the Australian market
A short list of the categories Australian buyers ask for most often.
- Extra virgin olive oil and condiments. See our Italian olive oil range.
- Italian cheeses. Parmigiano Reggiano, Grana Padano, buffalo mozzarella, pecorino and specialty regional cheeses.
- Pasta and grains. Explore the full Italian pasta wholesale range.
- Preserves and sauces. Passata, peeled tomatoes, pasta sauces, pesto, antipasti and vegetables in oil.
- Biscotti and Italian sweets. See the full Italian pastry and bakery range.
- Taralli and savoury snacks. Traditional southern Italian baked snacks in retail and food-service formats.
- Soft beverages. Italian sodas and specialty non-alcoholic drinks for grocery and specialty retail.
Cured meats and some dairy face specific Australian biosecurity conditions and are assessed case by case. Tell us the product early and we will confirm what is workable before you build a range around it.
Australian import compliance, handled from the Italy side
Every shipment leaves Italy with the paperwork your Australian broker and importer need. We prepare the documents; your importer files the entries. Typical package includes:
- Producer details and food-safety documentation for the Imported Food Inspection Scheme.
- Nutrition Information Panel prepared in the FSANZ format, with metric units.
- Ingredient lists and allergen declarations to Food Standards Code requirements.
- Country of origin statement and "Product of Italy" declaration.
- Certificates of origin and health certificates where the category requires them.
- Independent laboratory analyses, chemical, microbiological and organoleptic, per lot.
- Producer facility certifications: ISO 22000, BRC or IFS.
- Organic and PDO / PGI documentation where applicable.
- Packing declarations and treatment certificates for timber packaging, so biosecurity does not hold your container.
How we work with Australian importers and distributors
- Brief. You tell us the products, target Australian retail channel (grocery, independent, food-service, ecommerce), volume and destination port.
- Producer match and samples. We shortlist Italian producers and ship samples with full specifications for approval.
- Quote and MOQ. Price, minimum order quantity, incoterms (typically FOB Italy or CIF Australian port) and lead time.
- Labels and compliance review. We check the Nutrition Information Panel, ingredient statements, allergen text and country of origin labelling against the Food Standards Code for your channel.
- Production and quality control. Batch produced and audited before dispatch, with laboratory analyses issued. We plan the production date around the longer transit from Italy so stock lands with useful shelf life.
- Export and documentation. Shipment consolidated, containerised and dispatched to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane or Fremantle with the paperwork pack ready for your customs broker on arrival.
Why Australian buyers source with ALL FOOD
- One point of contact in Italy. Sourcing, quality, packaging, compliance and export handled by one team, so your buyer is not chasing five vendors across Europe.
- Direct Italian producer relationships. We visit and audit the producers we work with, and we can match you with the right one instead of pushing a single fixed catalog.
- Biosecurity paperwork prepared upfront. Packing declarations, treatment certificates and category documentation assembled in Italy, which is where most Australian delays start.
- Traceable, transparent lots. Every case is traceable back to producer, plant and batch.
- Flexible volumes. From a mixed pilot pallet to full-container programs, scaling as your Australian sell-through grows.

Frequently asked questions
Can you ship Italian cured meats to Australia?
Some categories, case by case. Australian biosecurity conditions on meat products are strict and depend on the product and the producer's approval status. Ask us before planning a range around cured meats and we will tell you straight what is possible.
Do you prepare Australian-format nutrition panels?
Yes. We prepare the Nutrition Information Panel in the FSANZ format with metric units, plus ingredient and allergen text, before production.
How long does shipping from Italy to Australia take?
Typically five to seven weeks port to port depending on routing and consolidation. We plan production and shelf life around that so your stock arrives with commercially useful life remaining.
Which Australian ports do you ship to?
Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Fremantle, in full or mixed containers.
What is your minimum order for the Australian market?
It depends on format. Mixed retail containers start lower than single-product bulk. Tell us your products and target volume and we will confirm the MOQ.
