High-end accredited logistics are playing a key role in maintaining our love affair with authentic Italian food as the UK’s biggest importer of pasta continues to experience record demand for the wheat-based staple.
From lasagne to linguini, fettucine to fusilli, demand for southern Italian pasta from the Naples region where it originated has continued beyond the high watermark of the panic-buying months of the first lockdown, with orders not returning to pre-pandemic levels for Hertfordshire-based Specialist Foods, the UK agent for prestige brand Pasta Garofalo.
The business, which also trades through the Gustalia name and imports coffee, rice and oils, as well as pesto and pasta sauces, continues to ship a wide range of pasta varieties into the country in 17-tonne containers ready for distribution to the UK’s retail sector, including independent outlets, food wholesalers and prestige online grocer, Ocado.
