GLOBAL

We've become well-traveled in our pursuit of experiencing unique, high-quality and global fare. As a result, we continue to expand our horizons within the import and export of the products used to create those flavors and experiences from around the world. Our current partners and specialty food products are sourced from and/or distributed to:  U.S. markets, European and Mediterranean countries, as well as Latin America and the Caribbean. 

In addition to promoting and raising awareness of food products by the artisans who make them, we also offer opportunities to design and implement custom programs for private labeling of specialty products from some of our producers and manufacturers. This allows for greater availability and exposure to a wider range of food products within your markets.

Just like a mosaic, Lovely Plate Foods serves not only as a purveyor, but an organizer of food products. Whether from local sources or around the world, we join our network together to create an arrangement like a panatone of small colored pieces forming a harmonious and flavorful global landcape. Our mission is to promote global unification of food businesses one plate at a time!
