The Red Beetle

The Red Beetle

Driving around Italy with a vintage 1970s VW Beetle, we personally source and carefully select the most authentic Italian food products and bring them to the UK.

Our Story

At the Red Beetle we go the extra mile to ensure the products you buy are as genuine, delicious and authentic as possible. We spend much of our time travelling to and through Italy, visiting suppliers and spending quality time with them. Our research is thorough; we investigate, ask questions, check the factories and production facilities as well as hygiene and quality control. Where products are deemed organic, we check the certification.

When a product arrives on our site, you are guaranteed a distinctive and exclusive authentic Italian food that we have verified all the way from being grown to finally being packaged.

Whether you want to give our food as a present or simply indulge yourself, there is nothing more enjoyable than to sit around the dining table with family and friends and share some of the greatest edible pleasures in life.
