Business Overview

Mazaga Fruit is one of Malta's most trusted names in fresh fruit and vegetable wholesale. The business was founded in 1880 and has been supplying quality produce to hotels, retailers, supermarkets, and wholesalers across Malta for well over a century. What started as a small fruit and vegetable shop in Valletta has grown into a fully established import and wholesale operation. Four generations of family ownership later, the Mazaga name still stands for freshness, quality, and dependable service.

The story behind the business is one of steady, principled growth. Carmelo Grech Mazaga opened the original shop in 1880. Over the following decades, the business expanded as the family continued to develop it. A second shop opened in Birkirkara in 1955, and wholesale operations began in 1978. When Noel Grech joined in 1990, a new chapter began. The company started importing and exporting a wider variety of produce, including fresh salads, dried Read Morefruit, juices, and items sourced from trusted suppliers around the world. Today, Mazaga Fruit is based at Ta' Qali, Attard, and continues to serve clients across Malta with the same values that the business was built on over 140 years ago.

The fruit selection at Mazaga is one of the most complete available from any wholesale supplier in Malta. Everyday staples include apple, banana, orange, lemon, lime, grape, pear, peach, plum, and strawberry. Seasonal choices such as watermelon, melon, apricot, and cherry come into stock at the right time of year. Citrus lines including grapefruit and mandarin fruit are maintained consistently across the season. For buyers who need something beyond the standard range, Mazaga also carries mango, pineapple, avocado, papaya, kiwi, and coconut. Specialist and premium varieties are available too. These include dragon fruit, passion fruit, pomegranate, dates, bambinella, cranberry, prickly pear, and a changing selection of exotic fruit sourced through specialist importers. Cherry tomato sits alongside standard cherry in the range, and several berry varieties are stocked as well. When local fruit grown in Malta is in season, Mazaga sources it, giving clients access to produce that has travelled the shortest possible distance from field to delivery.

The vegetable range is just as wide. Standard lines include potato, carrot, onion, garlic, tomato, cucumber, lettuce, broccoli, and cauliflower. Beyond those, buyers can order artichoke, asparagus, aubergine, bell pepper, beetroot, bok choy, broad bean, brussel sprout, butternut squash, cabbage, caper, celeriac, celery, Chinese cabbage, corn, fennel, ful, ginger, green bean, green pepper, marrow, mushroom, okra, parsnip, pea, portobello mushroom, pumpkin, radish, red pepper, rucola, sweet potato, yam, and yellow pepper. Having access to this full range through one supplier saves time, reduces administration, and makes it much easier to manage fresh produce procurement consistently.

Fresh herbs form an important part of what Mazaga offers. The selection includes basil, chilli, chive, coriander, mint, parsley, rosemary, sage, thyme, and turmeric. Supply is consistent throughout the year, which is important for any professional kitchen that uses herbs as part of its daily cooking. Knowing that a reliable source is in place removes one less concern from a busy operation. Mazaga also carries olive and water chestnut, completing a product range that covers almost every fresh produce need a buyer in Malta is likely to have.

Quality is not a secondary consideration at Mazaga. It is the principle that drives every purchasing and operational decision the business makes. Importers are chosen carefully, and relationships are maintained only with suppliers who meet the company's own standards. Every item is assessed for condition, ripeness, and presentation before it reaches a client. Mazaga knows that what goes on a retailer's shelf or into a hotel kitchen reflects on that client's own reputation. Supplying produce that meets a high and consistent standard is how Mazaga protects and supports the businesses it works with. This commitment has been in place since 1880 and has not changed.

Mazaga works with a number of well-known international brands, which means retail clients can stock recognised names alongside the standard wholesale range. Shoppers often look for specific brands they already trust, and having those options available can make a real difference at the shelf. Every brand that Mazaga carries has been selected with the same level of care applied to all other purchasing decisions.

Delivery is managed directly by Mazaga, giving clients a complete service from order through to arrival. There is no need to arrange separate logistics or work with a third party. Produce arrives on time and in good condition, and the team makes sure that nothing is compromised in transit. For businesses that rely on fresh produce arriving at a fixed time each day or each week, this kind of consistency is essential. Mazaga has built its client relationships on delivering that reliability, order after order.

Mazaga Fruit works primarily with businesses on a B2B basis. Clients include chain supermarkets, independent retailers, hotels, restaurants, catering operations, and wholesalers from across Malta. B2C orders can also be accommodated where needed. The team has experience working with accounts of all sizes, from large operations placing high-volume orders every week to smaller buyers who simply need a fresh and reliable source of fruit and vegetables. Every client, regardless of size, receives the same level of care and the same standard of produce.
