#sparkchamber 052520 — Alex Agnoluzzi

Is it time for lunch yet? Asking for a friend of #sparkchamber, small business owner Alex Agnoluzzi. Alex always had a passion for food and beverages, and 10 years ago decided to follow his heart down that path. In 2011, he founded Salt Gourmet Foods, a premium, boutique-style food importer/distributor specializing in premium brands and high-quality products. “We search all over the world for the best specialty foods each region has to offer. From pastas to oils, coffee to chocolate, flour to cheese, teas to sweets, all of our products are the result of quality ingredients and the care that each and every manufacturer puts into them. We are extremely proud to showcase and offer the best of the best.”

In addition to clients throughout Canada — restaurants, cafés, specialty food stores, retail chains, banquet halls, hotels — they offer an online shopping experience highlighting premium local and global brands, carefully selected themed gift boxes, and tailored one-of-a-kind subscription programs.

He loves what he does and it shows — always a recipe for success. Buon appetito!
