Products and brands

From world-renowned brands to food products manufactured by small, family-run businesses, local food importers and wholesalers can provide a vast selection of diverse items. Some companies tend to specialise in one particular category of food, such as those which import fruit and vegetables either in their fresh form or in their pre-cooked variety. However, many supply various items and global brands which are less perishable consumables and may include beverages, snacks and gourmet products or dry, chilled and frozen foodstuff. Frozen food distributors in particular are in high demand since they supply products to a large number of outlets.

On the other hand, many local food manufacturing companies produce and sell traditional Maltese food items, whereas some also supply their products to local restaurants. Popular quality food products include herbs and spices, olive oils and condiments, tomato products, liqueurs, preserves and marmalades and sweet items like qagħaq tal-għasel (honey rings). What is more, with the advent of healthy eating in recent years, the demand for organic food products has increased and as a result, a number of food importers and wholesalers provide natural and organic food products in bulk.

Other services

Most companies operate an efficient network of service and delivery which means that food stocks can be delivered right to your doorstep in temperature controlled vehicles. Prices depend on the volume ordered but do tend to be more competitive for catering and retail establishments that buy large quantities of goods.

Some companies also offer additional services such as in-store product demonstrations which showcase featured products. These events allow consumers to sample food items whilst shopping, enhancing the shopping experience, which in turn is beneficial for both supplier and customer alike.

Whether you are a large supermarket, a well-established freezer shop, a cash and carry outlet or a small business that operates a local greengrocer or a small restaurant, opt for a company that offers excellent service and great value for money.
