Two former chefs, more than ten years in professional kitchens, and a mission to bring real Italian quality to the Netherlands.
MadreTerra is an Italian food import and distribution company based in the Netherlands, founded by Luca and Federico, two former chefs with more than ten years of experience working in professional kitchens across Italy, Austria and the Netherlands.
Having spent years inside restaurants, they understand the daily challenges faced by chefs, pizzaioli and restaurant owners. Product quality, consistency, reliability and timely deliveries are not just business requirements — they are essential elements for running a successful kitchen.
This hands-on experience in the hospitality industry allows MadreTerra to select products not only for their authenticity and quality, but also for how they perform in real professional kitchens. The company understands the needs of its customers because its founders have lived those same challenges firsthand.
What began as a passion for authentic ingredients and Italian food culture has grown into a company dedicated to connecting the excellence of Italian producers with international markets. Today, MadreTerra carefully selects and supplies premium Italian food products to restaurants, specialty retailers, gourmet stores and food professionals throughout the Netherlands and beyond.
By combining culinary expertise, industry knowledge and a deep connection to Italian food traditions, MadreTerra continues to build long-term partnerships based on trust, quality and shared passion for exceptional food.
