Italian Food & Ingredients

At Sous Chef, we bring you traditional Italian ingredients sourced from artisanal producers who prioritize flavour over convenience.

We've spent considerable time tracking down the traditional Italian ingredients from producers who do things the right way. No shortcuts, no compromise. Spend some time exploring the same Italian food online that you'd find tucked away in a traditional Italian alimentari, if you knew where to look.

Whether you're after aged balsamic that's worth the name, extraordinary extra virgin olive oil, Italian risotto rice that won't let you down, or one of those wonderful Italian ingredients that transforms an ordinary supper into something rather special, you'll find it here.

And once you've found the Italian ingredients for a fabulous meal, explore handmade Italian tableware to serve it on.
