Materia: authentic taste born from land and people
Materia was born from a simple yet powerful idea: to give voice to territories, producers, and ingredients that rarely find their place on supermarket shelves. During our travels, we noticed the same brands and labels repeating everywhere. That’s when the idea came: to create an alternative supply chain—fairer, more human, and truly able to tell the story of our land.
The values that guide us
Community, transparency, respect, and artisanal quality: these are the principles that shape everything we do. Materia does not aim for industrial production or standardization. Instead, we build authentic connections between those who farm, those who transform, and those who bring food to the table.
Respect for environment and people
We work only with small-scale farmers who use regenerative or low-impact practices. Every ingredient comes from real relationships, cultivated with care and locally transformed to reduce waste and unnecessary transport.
Respect is at the core of our philosophy: respect for the soil, for the hands that work it, and for those who will taste the final product.
Pride and shared growth
Each Materia jar is crafted with artisanal care and a touch of creativity: we love experimenting with lesser-known ingredients and unique pairings.
But our greatest pride lies in growing together with our producers. We start with small batches and expand only if a product works, ensuring that their work finds new opportunities. Materia becomes a bridge—between present and future, between fields and tables, between people and community.
Quality and traceability
We visit our farmers regularly, follow their harvests, and observe the rhythms of the seasons. We produce in small batches to guarantee freshness and full control. Every ingredient is precisely traced and openly shared with our community.
We’ve even created an Instagram group chat where we share live updates from the fields and seasonal curiosities, because for us, transparency is part of quality.
A living community
Materia is not just a brand, but a network of people: farmers, artisans, chefs, producers, and customers. We organize events, tastings, and cultural projects to connect those who grow and those who choose, with food as the common thread.
Choosing Materia means joining a supply chain that values every step, every face, every story. It means being part of a movement that restores food to its truest meaning: to unite, to nourish, to inspire.
