Our story begins at the heart of the Mediterranean, in Sicily, the home of flavour. An ancient crossroads of cultures and tastes, its exceptionally fertile soil bathed in sunlight, Sicily has nurtured a particularly rich gastronomy over centuries. In 1875, in the small Sicilian town of Caltanissetta, our great grandfather Luigi Diforti started creating Antipasti, Olives and Pesto to sell to local families. His son, our grandfather, Salvatore Diforti, followed in his father’s footsteps and started supplying local restaurants, delicatessens and grocery stores all around Sicily. Our father, Giuliano Diforti, had a new vision for the family passion; he was the first to bring our Sicilian flavours to food-lovers beyond Italy, and when he came to the UK he fell in “love at first sight”. So, in 1999, he established Taste of Sicily to bring Britain the finest Antipasti the Mediterranean could offer. We are Carlo, Andrea and Francesca, the fourth Diforti generation, and we have been leading Taste of Sicily since 2005. The brothers Carlo and Andrea head the company in the UK while Francesca oversees production of our original family products in Sicily. Our passion is in our blood. We have spent a lifetime immersed in the colours, aromas and flavours of gourmet Mediterranean food and we want to share this experience with you. Our authentic Sicilian flavours are now savoured by chefs, grocers and food-lovers across Britain. Over the years, Taste of Sicily has become synonymous with quality and excellence, not only in our fine Antipasti, Olives and Pesto but now also in our Olive Oils, Cured Meats, Cheeses, Nuts, Pastries and much more.
