Cheese and Wine Sourcing
Curation creates differentiation
Driven by a deep passion for gastronomy and travelling, I am dedicated to championing the heritage of European culinary culture, across the globe.
To this end, I am established as a freelance consultant, to deliver tailored sourcing solutions, portfolio management, and promotional strategies for retailers, wholesalers, and importers.
Born and raised in Southeast France to a wine-producing family of Northern Italian origin, and currently residing in Galicia, Spain, my sourcing capabilities extend across all of Europe and South America.
