The specialty side of America's most trusted food importer

Atalanta Premium is the direct-to-door expression of Atalanta Corporation's decades of sourcing expertise — bringing foodservice-exclusive, specialty, and hard-to-find ingredients directly to professional chefs, operators, and serious home cooks.

From Tuscan chocolate and olive oils to premium soup bases and imported pasta, every product on this site has been sourced with the same exacting standards that have made Atalanta the largest privately held food importer in North America.

The parent company behind the premium

Founded in 1945 with the first import of Polish hams, Atalanta Corporation has grown into a third-generation family business and the backbone of the American specialty food import industry.

Today, under the GGG umbrella, Atalanta imports thousands of unique items across cheese, charcuterie, seafood, grocery, and specialty categories — with a distribution network that reaches foodservice operators, retailers, and manufacturers nationwide.
