"Ours is not simply a commercial activity, but a passion that we pass on from parents to children: the passion for doing things well."
Nicola Tiberino 1906
Tiberino is the name of our family that appeared on the sign of a specialty grocery store in the heart of Bari in 1888.
-
Today, as in 1888, our sole purpose is to offer unique and exquisite products that allow anyone, anywhere, to enjoy the best of Italian cuisine.
-
Our company is artisanal, and our work is carried out with the care and wisdom of the past to preserve flavors and traditions even in products that are quickly consumed.
-
Tiberino products are our flagship product because we make them exclusively with natural ingredients, paying the utmost attention to quality and the final result.
"History is a great present, never just a noble past."
Émile Auguste Chartier 1945
Our company is the natural continuation of the Tiberino family's four-generation journey.
It all began at the end of the 19th century, when the founder, Nicola Tiberino, opened the business in a small shop on Via Vallisa, in the historic center of Bari.
After a few years, his sons, Raffaele and Tommaso, joined their father, and the business soon grew into a historic food wholesaler. In the early post-war years, Raffaele's son, Nicola, joined the company and expanded its operations throughout Europe, quickly transforming the business into an import-export company of specialty foods. In 1999, with the entry into the family business of Nicola's son, who, according to tradition, bears the name of his grandfather Raffaele, the company added to its selection of typical products by producing its own line of high-quality dehydrated first courses: Primi Tiberino.
"If you want a happy life, you have to dedicate it to a goal."
ALBERT EINSTEIN 1879-1955
In pursuit of our goal of promoting the best of Italian cuisine and flavors, becoming ambassadors of taste and Italianness around the world, we have the honor of having brought the good name of Italian cuisine to the stars, preparing, since 2007, meals for astronauts on joint international missions between NASA, ESA, and ASI.
From this unique experience was born OUTFOOD, the first line of dehydrated prepared meals for outdoor use made in Italy.
