Modern Craft, Rooted in Tradition

 

Founded in 2005, Portofino Foods began with a belief that bulk olive oil could be sourced differently — with the transparency and craftsmanship of a family estate, yet the dependability of a modern logistics company.

 

While others chase volume, we chase integrity. Every relationship we build, every shipment we coordinate, and every container we represent comes from a long-standing partnership grounded in mutual trust.

​

 

The Art and Discipline of Selection

 

Behind every shipment is a network of growers, millers, and exporters who have spent generations perfecting their craft. Our sourcing process is guided not just by technical standards but by instinct — knowing which harvests, microclimates, and producers consistently achieve extraordinary balance in flavor and stability.

 

We don’t buy olive oil; we curate it. Each selection reflects a balance of chemistry and character, designed to meet the performance standards of professional kitchens, manufacturing lines, and global brands.

​

 

A Partnership Approach to Growth

 

Portofino was built to serve brands in motion — the disruptors, innovators, and makers who need a supply partner that can evolve with them. We help clients grow not through rigid contracts but through clarity, responsiveness, and shared vision.

 

We don’t view ourselves as brokers. We’re a bridge between the Mediterranean’s best producers and the companies defining the next chapter of food.

​

 

Precision Without the Pretense

 

Our fulfillment model was designed to remove friction from every stage of the process — from procurement to delivery. We operate with quiet efficiency, ensuring accuracy without overcomplication.

That calm, steady reliability is what our partners depend upon the most.

 

Because great sourcing should feel effortless.

​

 

Integrity That Travels

 

Every drop of olive oil that bears the Portofino name is backed by measurable integrity — from Certificates of Analysis and origin documentation to rigorous lab testing for oxidation, freshness, and purity.

 

But for us, authenticity goes beyond paperwork. It’s the lived honesty of every grower, every inspector, and every shipment that moves through our network.

​

 

Rooted in Relationships

 

Portofino remains intentionally human. We answer phones, return calls, and treat every partnership — large or small — with respect. In a time when most sourcing feels transactional, we continue to believe that character is still a competitive advantage.

​

 

A Modern Mediterranean Philosophy

 

From the remote villages of Greece… to the lush orchards of Spain and Italy… the olive harvest is the most anticipated time of the year. The Mediterranean region is unsurpassed in its ability to nourish the highest quality olives, producing the finest olive oils available anywhere in the world.

 

What began as an ancient ritual of cultivation has become our everyday discipline — to bring that same sense of care, warmth, and authenticity to every client we serve across North America.
