Founded in 1979, De Medici sources specialty foods crafted by artisans who produce the finest quality the world has to offer. De Medici was the first to introduce Tuscan extra-virgin olive oil to the United States retail market. In the more than 42 years since, the company has been a leader in taste education for the specialty food community. In 2007, De Medici joined the Gellert Global Group to find a wider audience for their specialty products. In 2015, De Medici officially became a part of Atalanta. Through growth and change, De Medici has remained committed to its core mission -to honor a rich legacy of traditional high quality artisan food production passed down for generations.
