How it works

What is the Mezzo Principle?

Just like the Southern Italian, Mezzogiorno always puts quality first! Italian quality products are often unavailable or expensive. But by bundling the demand, we can be the direct link between you and the small-scale Italian farmer. It allows us to cut all middlemen (and the associated costs) out of the supply chain. No expensive importers, exporters, wholesalers, or shops, just you and Mezzogiorno, importing fantastic products from Italy together. We do this in five simple steps.

01

We take you on our journey

During our travels through the South of Italy, we look for small family businesses with a long-standing tradition of cultivating and processing products in a traditional and often organic way. These businesses are so small that they cannot find their way to you without Mezzogiorno. Their sales are mostly limited to the surrounding region. When visiting the families, you can feel the love for their work and the passion for their products.

02

We build unique connections

The moment when they proudly let us taste their products is an unforgettable experience every time! We build unique connections with these farmers and share with them our way of working. They tell us their stories and show us their traditions. We then select the best products and share with you what’s important.

03

We purchase together

We collect demand to fill an entire pallet from a family business in the South of Italy. Because we are buying as a group, we can provide you with fantastic products for a fair price. Thanks to this principle, we don’t have any stock and therefore we also don’t need to throw anything away, ever! Because we realize it might take a while, it's up to you when you pay, now or later.

04

Mezzogiorno gets to work

When you have filled an entire pallet, it's time for us to get to work. We place an order with the farmer, who carefully packs the products and prepares them for transport. We arrange transport to the Netherlands and deliver the products to your doorstep.

Enjoy!

Our journey is only complete when you have the opportunity to taste what we have selected. Now you can experience quality. Take your time to enjoy it, we did too!
