Founded in 1993, Mediterranea was born out of enthusiasm and a love of the environment. Committed to respecting not only our ecological system but to treating our customers, suppliers and employees with dignity, respect, kindness and generosity. Our vision was to produce a range of healthy vegetarian and vegan protein food that was both nutritious and tasty. We also researched and sourced the highest quality ingredients and hope to help to increase peoples’awareness of life quality.

This philosophy has led to our using only certified organic raw ingredients in all our products and a strong commitment to the GM free issue. This ethical choice is a guarantee to our customer that all our ingredients, especially the Soya (always more in danger of genetic modification), are totally GM free. This is constantly monitored by our outside laboratory which do further specific analyses for us.

Our recipes were originally based on the ancient knowledge of our oriental ancestors. These have been improved over the years in accordance with our customers’tastes, without compromising the fundamental nutritional value.

With the increasing popularity of Italian food worldwide, Mediterranea joined a co-operative of other high quality organic food producers in 2006 with the aim of enabling other countries to appreciate their produce. Already gaining in popularity in the UK, the Seitan products have been mentioned recently on a BBC Food programme.

Organic farming follows the course of nature by growing crops without the use of artificial fertilisers or pesticides. By eating organic produce you are respecting your body and the environment. In the past we all ate ‘organic’food as pesticides and chemical fertilisers were not in use, so it is only recently that the world is realising the potential dangers of tampering with nature in this way. Now, more than ever before it is important to be aware of the choices that we make. Organic production totally prohibits the use of GM ingredients.

Every 6 months, the Veneto Agricoltura (Institute for Quality & Food Agriculture Technology) certifies that the Soya used by Mediterranea Srl is free from transgenetic DNA.

The Italian Organic Certification Body (ICEA), which, translated, is ‘Institute for Ethical and Environmental Certification’ fully certifies Mediterranea Srl’s products to European standards CEE 2092/91.
