Bertozzi A Importing Inc, Etobicoke, ON

Just as Adriano wanted to bring the finest selection of Parmigiano-Reggiano to the Canadian consumers to develop their taste for it, so this standard of excellence extended to his other Italian imported food products that were increasingly on demand. Indeed, Bertozzi Importing has always been on the avant-garde in bringing to Canada something new and, in the process, educating the consumer to new tastes. Some examples: corn flour from Friuli when Polenta was considered a poor staple food for the Friulani immigrants; new varieties of rice from Lombardy still unknown to the Canadian cooks; traditional basil Pesto from Liguria where the best sweet basil.
