Why kitchens choose Selected Foods
Sourced at the origin
Our founders visit producers, cellars and trade shows to choose products for their quality, starting with Italy and Europe and now from around the world.
One-on-one service
You work with people who know your business. We help with product suggestions, rare ingredients and menu ideas.
Reliable delivery
Our own trucks deliver from our Houston warehouse, so your order arrives when you need it.
Meet the family behind the business
Selected Foods began as a dream for founders Friedel and Crista Landa: sharing the best Italian and European products with Houston. Today we import carefully chosen products from around the world, with the same commitment to quality and to the people we serve.
