Brakes, the UK’s leading foodservice wholesaler, has unveiled a new authentic Italian range, bringing the true flavours, craftsmanship and traditions of Italy directly to professional kitchens across the UK.
Every product in the collection is sourced exclusively from Italian producers and suppliers, each selected for their commitment to regional heritage, traditional methods and the unmistakable character of Italian food culture. Made in Italy using time-honoured recipes and local ingredients, the range delivers genuine provenance and exceptional consistency.
Featuring a broad selection of more than 200 products, all sourced and crafted in Italy and many with Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) or Protected Geographical Indication (PGI), the range provides everything operators need to build a complete Italian menu, spanning pasta, pizza flours and bases, sauces and tomatoes, olive oils and vinegars, cheeses and cured meats, antipasti and olives, and bakery and dessert options.
Designed to balance everyday essentials with premium specialities, each product has been carefully reviewed to ensure reliable performance, flavour and consistency, helping chefs deliver authentic Italian dishes with confidence.
Thomas Pighi, Senior Authentic Italian Sales Specialist, commented: “Italians are renowned for their passion for great food, and our new Authentic Italian range brings together the true flavours, colours, textures and stories of Italy. Because every product is made in Italy using traditional recipes and regional ingredients, operators can tell an authentic story on their menus—while delivering the quality, consistency and confidence that chefs rely on.”
