Quality cured meats, unique cheeses, Mediterranean flavour chutneys, jams, condiments and appetisers accompanied with focaccia, brought straight to your door.

Our Story

L'incontro translates to "the meeting", based on our visions of having the Italian culture meet the British public and show that there is so much more to Italian food that what meets the eye. A world of craftsmanship, centuries of artisan tradition and, above all, some of Italy's finest dishes.

L'incontro was created by two Italian siblings, Alessandro and Roberta, who shared a love for Italian Aperitivo, the ritual of drinking, nibbling and relaxing after work. It's a daily occasion to share moments of happiness with friends and family. So why not try to share this tradition with UK homes? Inspired by this simple mission, our founders set out to bring the freshness and quality of the Italian "tagliere" he grew up enjoying everyday in Italy to British Kitchens.

Our ingredients are sourced seasonally and sustainably from a network of meticulously selected small farmers and local growers across Italy. We carefully test each ingredient to guarantee the highest quality and ensure that every item in our boxes beautifully complement each other for the ultimate Italian experience. Our selection is meticulously selected from a network of small farmers and local growers, ranging from the North to the South of Italy, taking the very best products from each region.

The goal is excellence, the result of the combination of fine meats and the aromas of cheeses, cradled in the embrace of our appetisers and Mediterranean chutneys, thus creating our Tagliere boards, the emblem of the products of L'incontro.

L'incontro embodies the values that inspire its creators: passion, quality, tradition, innovation, care, attention to details all with an Italian core. All of them are daily applied to the process of making our products in order to obtain the best of the excellence that we can provide.

Here you will find only the best of the Italian food and wines. Artisan products of the finest quality served simply on a cutting board or accompanied by artisanal bread or focaccia. To find out more, scroll through the food and wine platters and our products.

From our family to yours, we hope you enjoy our authentic Italian experience.
