Celebrating 10 Years of Excellence

2025 marks Degusta’s 10th anniversary, celebrating a decade of sourcing the finest local produce while bringing premium Mediterranean imports to kitchens across the region. Since our founding in 2014, we have been committed to sourcing and supplying the finest ingredients and building lasting relationships with our producers and customers. Founded by industry experts Luis & Salva, Degusta began as a specialised supplier for fine dining restaurants and delis. Over the years, we have expanded our offering to meet the growing needs of the hospitality sector from fine dining restaurants to schools, charities, bakeries, cafes, farm shops, and independent retailers. Today, we are recognized as a trusted wholesale partner, providing high-quality locally sourced produce alongside selected Mediterranean imports, with competitive pricing and volume discounts.
 

As we celebrate a decade of growth and success, our mission remains the same: delivering exceptional products, outstanding service, and sustainable business practices. Our direct relationships with producers ensure transparency, quality, and ethical sourcing—values that have been the foundation of our company since day one.
