About Deliciously Fine Foods
A NEW FOOD SYSTEM
A Food System Tailored to Your Needs
It is now established how essential nutrition is for the well-being of each of us, but not everyone is aware that the threat to our health does not necessarily come from the type of food ingested but predominantly from the quality of what we consume.
Foods, whatever they may be, are not necessarily harmful in themselves, but become harmful when, in order to achieve the highest yield at the lowest possible cost, processes are used that distort the product, making it potentially harmful and unhealthy for our body.
To say that meat is always and solely bad is not entirely correct; meat is harmful because the majority of the animals from which it comes are today full of harmful substances used to speed up their growth, ensure the management of potential diseases, and save on their feed, thus being able to offer a more competitive price in the market. On the contrary, to say that vegetables are always and solely good does not always correspond to the truth, for example, if they come from cultivations that use pesticides and fertilizers harmful to our health.
The iron class born at the beginning of the century certainly had no problem eating meat (if anything, poverty and the lack of meat consumption generated diseases like pellagra) or using salt, sugar, or flour, but it is certain that the progress in the alteration of the production of such foods was practically unknown to all.
Economic well-being, the need to feed a constantly growing population, and the speculation of growing industries have meant that the quality of food was sacrificed for an increase in production and corporate turnover.
Today, with the onset and increase of diseases and the research that has revolved and continues to revolve around them, we have an awareness that we cannot ignore where possible.
With Deliciously Fine Foods, our goal is precisely to return to providing quality foods directly to people's homes and to qualified high quality shops.
Quality Above All
For many years we have dedicated ourselves to meeting the high expectations of great chefs and exclusive hotels that demanded fresh and quality food, also recognising an indisputable difference in the taste and yield of the product, and we now wish to offer and deliver our experience directly to our end customers primarily in the comfort of their homes.
Despite this, we constantly strive to reach ever higher quality standards to ensure a perfect balance between freshness, genuineness, and excellence of our products.
In a world where large-scale agriculture and processed foods are common practice, we pride ourselves on collaborating with traditional farmers and manufacturers to ensure that our products are natural and unprocessed.
Our supply partners are some of the best artisanal producers, authentic creators of culinary masterpieces, who seek to safeguard the quality of their products. As true connoisseurs of quality, it is sometimes the suppliers themselves who suggest new products for us to explore to expand our offer.
We have carefully created a real-time food chain, from the producers directly to your door, with a minimum of stock. This, although sometimes sacrificing a bit of delivery time, guarantees unparalleled freshness since our products drastically reduce the time of lingering on shelves or in refrigerated rooms, simultaneously contributing to minimal use of preservatives and a reduction in waste.
The quality and freshness of the delivery of perishable foods are guaranteed by using special isothermal containers and ice packs when necessary.
In the world of wines, spirits, and beverages, our sommelier searches the world for exceptional treasures, albeit lesser-known, offering delightful experiences even at affordable prices.
Each wine is carefully selected to complement our food offerings and is skilfully paired by our sommeliers with the recipes we publish.
Enhancing Your Shopping Experience
Thanks to the expertise of a chef in the food department and a sommelier in the wine cellar, not only are the highest standards of food quality maintained, but we also bridge the gap between the generality of the retail point and your home kitchen.
