Private label Italian food supplier and export partner

ALL-FOOD is your private label Italian food supplier and export partner, based in Tuscany. We help importers, distributors and retailers launch and grow their own-brand Italian food range, including olive oil, pasta, preserves, biscotti, snacks and beverages, sourced from established Italian producers and shipped ready for your shelves.

ALL-FOOD is a sourcing and export partner, not a manufacturer. We coordinate production with certified Italian producers, quality-check every batch, manage packaging and labelling in your brand, and handle the origin and food-safety documents your destination market requires. From first specification to first container, one team in Italy runs the program on your behalf.

What we private label

We coordinate own-brand programs across the categories Italian food buyers ask for most:

• Extra virgin olive oil and condiments. Full Italian olive oil range in retail bottles, tins and bulk, plus balsamic vinegar and infused oils.
• Pasta and grains. Durum wheat pasta, egg pasta, rice, farro and legume-based ranges.
• Preserves and sauces. Passata, peeled tomatoes, pasta sauces, pesto, antipasti, vegetables in oil.
• Biscotti and sweets. Cantuccini, amaretti, panforte, panettone (seasonal), pandoro and gift boxes.
• Taralli and snacks. Classic and flavoured taralli, grissini, focaccine and savoury Italian snacks.
• Soft beverages. Italian sodas, sparkling drinks and specialty non-alcoholic beverages.

How the private label process works

1. Brief and product selection. Tell us the category, target market, positioning and volume you have in mind. We reply with a short list of Italian producers that fit.
2. Producer match and samples. We arrange samples and full specifications so your team, and if needed your customer, can taste and approve the product before anything is committed.
3. Packaging and label design. You supply the artwork and brand. We confirm the packaging format (bottle, jar, pouch, box), coordinate label printing with the producer, and check readability on-shelf.
4. Regulatory review. We check ingredient statements, nutrition panels, allergen declarations, origin claims and language rules for your destination market (FDA and USDA for the USA, CFIA and SFCR for Canada, FSANZ for Australia, and so on).
5. Production and quality control. The Italian producer runs your batch in an ISO 22000, BRC or IFS certified facility. We audit and quality-check lots before dispatch.
6. Documentation and export. Certificates of origin, health certificates, laboratory analyses and shipping paperwork are prepared and issued together with the container.

Minimum order quantity for private label

There is no single minimum for private label, and any supplier who gives you one number across a whole catalogue is simplifying something that will cost you later. The minimum is set per product, with the producer who will actually run it.

What drives it is changeover. A producer stopping a line to run your reference carries the cost of the stop, the cleaning, the packaging and label change and the raw material lot. The more of those your product needs, the higher the floor. Olive oil under your own brand is mostly a label and bottling change, and can start at around one pallet. Preserved and jarred products need a full line changeover per recipe, and can run to 20,000 pieces per reference.

This is different from buying a producer's own brand. For that, our minimum is one pallet, mixed across products and producers, because we consolidate several producers onto one pallet so you can order a full range at entry volume. If the market is new to you, that is usually the better way to start: prove the product sells in your channel first, then put your brand on it at the reorder.

Bulk formats such as drums, IBCs and cases for repacking ship by the container.

Tell us the product, the format and the target volume and we will confirm the exact quantity and lead time with the producer, usually within 48 hours.

Certifications and quality

Every private label program leaves Italy with full documentation:

• Producer facilities certified to ISO 22000, BRC or IFS food safety standards.
• Batch-level traceability from ingredient to finished pallet.
• Chemical, microbiological and organoleptic analyses from accredited laboratories.
• Certificate of origin, EUR.1 movement certificate where applicable, and destination-market health certificates.
• Organic, PDO / PGI and other origin certifications on request, matched to the lot on the label.

Why run your private label with ALL-FOOD

• Direct Italian producer network. We visit and audit the producers we work with, so we can match you with the right one instead of pushing a single fixed catalog.
• One point of contact. One team in Italy handles sourcing, packaging, compliance, quality control and export. You do not chase five vendors.
• Flexible volumes. From a first pilot pallet to a rolling multi-container program, scaling as your brand grows.
• Transparent documentation. Every lot is traceable back to producer, plant and batch, with the paperwork your customs and retailers require.
• In-market compliance. We know what US, Canadian, Australian, Middle Eastern, South American and EU buyers ask for on labels, panels and certificates.
