About Bottega Noord
A direct line between Piemonte and the Dutch table.
We are an Amsterdam based representative & distributor of artisan food from small producers in Piemonte and northern Italy. No middlemen, no compromises on craft.
Who we are
Two Norths, one table
Bottega Noord is an Amsterdam based representative & distributor of artisan food from Piemonte and northern Italy. Our name reflects where two Northern cultures meet — Italian artisanry brought to Dutch tables.
Our founding partnership is with Panificio Patti of Ponderano, Biella — a family bakery whose panettoni, grissini and biscotti shaped what Bottega Noord is today.
Good food has always brought people together. It starts conversations, marks occasions, and turns an ordinary table into something worth remembering. That is the whole reason we do this.

Three principles
Provenance over scale
Every product we carry is traceable to the family that made it. We grow slowly, because the producers we work with do.
Craft over convenience
Long fermentations, natural ingredients, recipes that pre-date industrial baking. We will not substitute these for shelf-life.
Direct over diluted
No middlemen between the producer and your kitchen, shelf or boardroom. One importer, one point of contact, full accountability.
Importer of record
EU compliance and customs handled by us.
Full traceability
Every batch traceable to the family that baked it.
Dutch labelling
Ingredients and allergens in Dutch, shelf-ready.
180-day ambient
Dry storage on most lines. No cold chain.
One point of contact
From first enquiry to reorder.
How we operate
From the producer to your door
- 01
We source directly
No middlemen. Every producer we carry, we taste, we vet, and we build a relationship before a single pallet moves.
- 02
We import as the importer of record
EU compliance, Dutch-language labelling, full traceability. The legal and logistical work sits with us, not with you.
- 03
We can ship directly from the producer
No intermediary warehousing. Your order travels from the producer to you with full traceability, handled by us as the importer of record.
- 04
We deliver to trade partners
Hospitality, retail and corporate, across the Netherlands. Minimum order quantities apply. We confirm them, and the exact freight and lead time, on your first quote.
- 05
We stay accountable
One point of contact from first enquiry to reorder. We own any issue until it is resolved.
