Flora Fine Foods Product Description:

Founded by John Flora, a native of Puglia, Italy, the company is dedicated to sourcing and importing genuine Italian ingredients for those seeking the true taste of Italy.

Chef John Flora's Journey:

Born into a modest family of tailors in Bari, Italy, John Flora pursued his American dream and arrived in the United States on December 17, 1962, with little money and no knowledge of English. Growing up in Brooklyn, New York's Italian neighborhood of Bensonhurst, where Italian cuisine permeated daily life, John found himself working at the renowned Villa Cucci Italian Bakery, unknowingly starting his culinary career.

During a trip to Miami Beach, John realized the lack of authentic pizza options available and opened Flora's Drive-In pizza parlor in 1972, followed by Flora's Italian Restaurant, both serving dishes crafted with ingredients imported directly from Italy. As other restaurants expressed interest in sourcing these same ingredients, John expanded his business to supply the restaurant industry with authentic Italian culinary staples.
