FEED YOUR BODY,
FEED YOUR SOUL As the old saying goes, you are what you eat.
That’s why Sarafino takes pride in distributing high-quality, artisanal products, made from natural ingredients and traditional practices. We share our passion for food through an open and honest approach to educating our clients about where our products come from and how they are produced. Angelo Tramonti, President & Founder of Sarafino, and Certified Olive Oil Taster, shares that Sarafino began as a way to
bring the award-winning olive oils his family was producing in Calabria, Italy, to Canada. Promoting the ancient farming methods his family was so passionate about is what led to Sarafino being built on Transparency, Tradition, Trust, Teaching, Taste and Togetherness. Food is the most important thing in all of our lives—it’s what fuels us to take on the day, and what brings us comfort when we need it the most. By eating and sharing food that nourishes and heals us, we can bring balance to our lives and to the Earth. “I worship the sun and the earth—Food—it’s what connects us to the earth and gives us energy from the sun. Food is the most important thing in my life.”
Tramonti started gardening at a very young age, as a way to help his parents. In his youth, he says he didn’t appreciate it very much, and it wasn’t until growing up that he realized how therapeutic it can be. Now, gardening is not only one of his hobbies, but also a key to how he relieves stress. Sarafino aims to make real food more accessible—because we all have the right to nutritious, wholesome, and authentic food.
