Our Family

A family story of Italian truffle

Some stories start with an idea, others with an encounter.
Ours began with both — and with a love for everything that’s real, simple and made with care.

In 2017, Simone — Italian by heart and entrepreneur by nature — left the hills of Le Marche with one clear mission: to bring the authentic taste of Italian truffle to the UK. Not just the flavour, but the values behind it: craftsmanship, respect for the land, and the joy of sharing good food.

A few years later in London, he met Vanessa.
Together, they built a life, a family, and a company that would grow with the same warmth found in their kitchen. What started as a passion project became a bridge between Italy and the UK — between roots and routine, between tradition and the modern table.

Every jar tells a story

At Markets Italia, we believe that food carries stories — of people, places and choices.

Every product we make is born from real truffles, hand-picked by trusted Italian foragers, and transformed with respect into sauces, oils and delicacies you can use every day. Each jar is a promise kept: authentic ingredients, no shortcuts, no fuss. Just the unmistakable taste of the Italian land we love.
