Tomato Products
Our parent company, La Doria S.p.A, has for generations produced tomatoes and tomato-based products offering Italian provenance and quality. We always seek to meet our customers’ demands – both in terms of sustainable production and product specification. We continue to invest in production and harvesting techniques which increase productivity whilst protecting the environment.
Alongside La Doria, we work with long term supplier partners, both in Italy and across the world, to complement our range of tomato products. In a world of uncertainty, our mission is to ensure that our customers can have confidence in our ability to supply these key store cupboard items:
- Peeled Whole Tomatoes

Pasta
Our shareholder, Pastificio Di Martino, has developed over many years as a leading producer of dried pasta centered in the home of pasta production in Italy – Gragnano. Across 4 factories, we produce a huge range of shapes, qualities and types of Durum Wheat and Egg Pasta including:

- Wholewheat
- High fiber

- Regional shapes
- High volume Teflon die pastas
…in almost any combination. We are happy to commission new dies for themed pasta products.
IGP Status
In October 2013, the authenticity and provenance of our Bronze Die Pasta was recognised with the prestigious IGP Award.
IGP stands for Indicazione Geografica Protetta, which means ‘protected geographical indication’ and guarantees the quality and provenance of traditionally made regional products.
Our IGP Bronze Die pasta is only made in the traditional pasta town of Gragnano, Italy, by traditional methods with premium Italian durum wheat and local Gragnano water and then slowly dried for up to 2 days at a temperature which never exceeds 50°C.
Our supplier partner in the north of Italy has for many years produced free-from pastas in a purpose-built unit using gluten free grains for both retail and manufacturing customers.

By creating sustainable partnerships with canneries and managing the supply chain from fishery to finished product, we can be confident of the quality and provenance of our fish range.
