Alpes is nestled in Valtellina, a pristine valley located in the heart of the Italian Alps. With the arrival of fall, the area?s dense evergreen woods produce a regional favorite, the delicate Porcini mushroom. Nature provides the perfect environment for growth of Porcini mushrooms, while Alpes carefully selects and processes them so that the taste may be enjoyed by all. With 50 years of experience working with Porcini mushrooms, Alpes has perfected the art of drying, freezing and placing them in handmade jars. The signature high quality food selection extends beyond Porcini mushrooms and encompasses Italian specialties such as artichokes, olives, antipasti, capers, sweet peppers and cultivated mushrooms. The care taken in preparing each food is also reflected in every product?s presentation with attractive and unique packaging. Consider sharing our regional favorites by giving a selection of our specialties, all packaged to delight and entice. In accordance to tradition, Alpes uses only the finest natural ingredients. Additionally, all products are proudly certified. Rigorous and strict procedures during every phase of the production process ensure each item, from the moment it is selected, is nothing less than a taste of exquisite Italy.
