Shopping with a dietary need or preference in mind? We’ve got a broad selection of organic and sustainably grown foods, as well as gluten-free pasta and flours for at-home baking. Italy has a long history of taking gluten intolerance very seriously and was one of the first countries to devote time and effort to finding gluten-free alternatives in the kitchen. Restaurants and food producers alike have made great efforts to ensure that those with special dietary needs are able to enjoy all the traditional foods Italians love—and the results are delicious.

From fresh, flavorful olive oil to savory aged balsamic vinegar, Mediterranean herbs, tomatoes, and all the pasta, there’s a world to discover right here. Every item here was handpicked to showcase the best of Italy's incredible culinary tradition. We’ve met the producers and their families, walked their land, and tasted every delicious product to bring you nothing but the very best. Experience an authentic taste of Italy right at home with these must-have products.
