Alpes Valtellina

We’ll be in Parma May 10-13 at CIBUS, the most important Italian food fair. We look forward to meeting with you and discussing our new products, as well as your customers’ favorites.
Contact us to schedule a meeting.

I’m proud to inform you about the completion of a new program for our warehouse.

In this business, fresh is key and the only way to facilitate that is with timely action. We’ve streamlined production so that we’re constantly producing our products with the freshest ingredients and shipping only the latest production lot. This guarantees the best quality and longer shelf life with expiration dates up to four years.

With express shipping, we guarantee all of our products will ship within two days of your order.

In 1970, at the Roman Campidoglio, Prime Minister Andreotti presented Alpes with an international award, the Golden Hercules.

The Ercole d’oro can be compared to the Academy Award of business. It signifies recognition of the superior production, business and spirit of cooperation demonstrated in regards to the distribution sector.

Start your Italian culinary journey with the sweet Tropea onion in fine wine vinegar. These famous deep red delicacies hale from the southern Calabria region and are quite sought after in Europe during the harvest season.

Although you might be able to cultivate this petite size onion anywhere, it will never have the true Tropean taste unless it grows in its native Mediterranean soil heated by the year round warm climate. Another unique property of this onion is its low level of the enzyme responsible for tears. Add a touch of pizzazz by using these onions with salads, sandwiches or as a meat accompaniment.

In order to better accommodate your requirements, Alpes is adding the choice of 200g jars to our Discover the Taste of Italy series. We designed the series to be flexible so it may meet a wide range of needs.

We offer the gift package, which contains three 300g jars with regional themes. Also, should you choose to order the product without the gift packaging, there are 30 varieties available individually in 200g and 300g jars. Please see one sample below.

Of course, we offer package labeling in Italian, German, French, English and can accommodate more language translations at no extra cost. Feel free to contact us for pricing and full offer.

This month I want to share with you an article that was published in the New York Times Magazine 26 years ago. It was written by Mimi Sheraton, the former restaurant critic of the New York Times.

Start your Italian dinner with the colors of our flag.

Red peppers, white pearl onions and green gherkins are hand packed in a new, stylish jar.

The combined flavors give this appetizer a flavorful zing!

Add this specialty to the menu to create pizzazz at your party. It’s a perfect marriage of flavors…the earthy, green olive and the fresh, sweet red pepper.
This combo also works well beyond the plate. Add it to drinks to make a real splash with your guests.

2009 proved to be a challenge thanks to the mercurial global economy. However, with perseverance and hard work, Alpes stayed straight on course and attained many ambitious goals. Here are a few I’d like to share:

-Our catalog increased in size thanks to nine new added specialties.

-While there was an increase in the number of specialties, there was not an increase in our price list.

-We know time is an ever present demand and with this in mind we improved our delivery process and shipped orders within an average of 3 days from date of order.

-Of course, shipping can’t happen if the shelves aren’t properly stocked and Alpes’ Morbegno warehouse consistently kept 85% of our specialties on hand this year.

-Lastly, none of these goals would be possible without the fine work every Alpes’ employee dedicates daily to their job. Each person takes pride in what they do so you may rely on fine, Italian food specialties coming your way.

As the holidays approach, we wish to extend our very best wishes.
May you enjoy your time catching up with relatives and friends, as well as taking in the beauty of the season. I look forward to working with you in 2010.
