Every recipe we sell started at Nonna Pippi's table.

Long before the shelves at Booths or the shop at Tebay Services, these were just family recipes, made for people we love.

That hasn't changed, we've just found a few more shelves for it.

Loved our arancini? Stocked our panettone? We would really appreciate your kind words! 🙏

Whether you've stocked us on your shelves or picked up a jar of our sauce for your Saturday evening meal; we'd love to hear from you.

A review takes two minutes but means the world to a small, family-run business like ours. It helps other farm shops, delis and food lovers discover what we do, and honestly, it makes our day.

Are you one of our brilliant stockists? Or have you tried our arancini, biscotti or panettone? Either way, we'd be so grateful for an honest review on Google or Facebook.

This is your dinner party starter sorted. These arancini take 12 minutes to heat up, but the compliments take longer.

Golden, crispy, filled with flavour that took generations to perfect.

Our arancini are one of those things that look impressive and taste like you spent hours in the kitchen, but actually take about 12 minutes to prepare at home.

Serve them as a starter, a sharing plate, or honestly just standing at the kitchen counter because you could not wait; we do not judge.

Nonna Pippi's recipe, made in the Cotswolds, on your table this weekend.

Buon appetito.

To the farm shop manager reading this on a Sunday: your customers are already looking for this. We just need to get it onto your shelves.

We know how farm shop and deli buyers discover new suppliers. It is rarely through a cold email.

It is through a post like this one. Or a recommendation from another buyer. Or seeing the product at an event and thinking: that belongs on our shelves.

So here is our direct invitation.

The Cotswold Cardillo is a SALSA-approved, family-run Italian food producer based in the Cotswolds. We make handmade arancini, biscotti, panettone, pasta sauces and limoncello, all from authentic Italian family recipes.

We already supply some of the UK's finest independents. We are looking for more. Minimum order quantities are realistic. Our team is responsive. Our products sell.

Visit our B2B page at the link in bio or email [email protected]. We respond to every trade enquiry personally, usually within 24 hours.

Farm shops. Delis. Gift retailers. We need to talk about your biscotti problem.

Our biscotti are twice-baked, handmade to an Italian family recipe, and available in four flavours: Almond & Cherry, Chocolate & Orange, Pistachio & Bergamont, Hazlenet Apricot & Coffee.

For retailers, they tick every box that premium gifting demands: beautiful presentation, a genuine provenance story, authentic Italian credentials, and a flavour that genuinely surprises people who expect a standard biscuit.

They work on their own as a deli counter product. They work as part of a gift hamper. They work as a premium counter impulse buy alongside coffee.

Minimum order quantities are designed to be accessible for independent retailers. We are SALSA approved and our packaging is gift-ready.

Christmas allocation enquiries are already open. Gifting season rewards those who plan early.

Before a buyer lists a new supplier, they need to know one thing above everything else...

Can I trust this product is safe? Here is our answer.

Food safety is not optional. It is the foundation. The Cotswold Cardillo is SALSA approved , which means every batch we produce is independently audited against the UK's most respected food safety standard for small and artisan producers.

For farm shop buyers and deli managers, this means no awkward conversations with your EHO, no gaps in your supplier paperwork, No risk.

Just great Italian food from a producer you can list with complete confidence.

We know that getting a new supplier onto your shelves involves more than tasting the product. We have done the groundwork to make that process as straightforward as possible.

For more details on our trade pricing and product specs, just visit the link in our bio or by dropping us a message.

What do food buyers look for in an artisan supplier? Provenance, consistency, accreditation, a story worth telling. Here is ours...

The Cotswold Cardillo was founded in 2018 by the Conte-Cardillo family, an Italian family who moved to the Cotswolds and began sharing the recipes they grew up with.

Named after the goldfinch, Cardillo in Italian, our brand stands for authenticity, vibrancy, and deep roots. Everything we make is handcrafted in small batches, using the finest ingredients from Italy and the Cotswolds, and made to family recipes that have been passed down through generations.

We are SALSA approved. We supply national distributors, farm shops, delis and food retailers across the UK. We bring a story to your shelf that your customers will remember, and come back for.

If you are a food buyer thinking about your next listing, we would love to introduce your to delicious range of Italian foods.

Visit our B2B page at the link in bio to register for a trade account, download our catalogue, or simply get in touch. We are always happy to send samples to the right buyer.

Nonna Pippi's panettone just got national recognition...

We're thrilled to share that our Traditional Panettone has been shortlisted as a finalist in the Sweet Bake category at the Great British Food Awards 2026! 🎉🏆

This recipe carries generations of Italian tradition, slow-proofed, hand-shaped, and baked with the same care Nonna Pippi always insisted on. Watching it come together (just like the process you see here) never gets old, even after all this time.

Tag someone who needs a slice of this in their life this Christmas 🎄👇

Saturday starter sorted, these arancini take 12 minutes.the compliments take longer.

Golden, crispy, filled with flavour that took generations to perfect.

Our arancini are one of those things that look impressive and taste like you spent hours in the kitchen, but actually take about 12 minutes to prepare at home.

Serve them as a starter, a sharing plate, or honestly just standing at the counter because you could not wait, we don't judge.

Nonna Pippi's recipe, made in the Cotswolds, on your table this Saturday.
