ITALIAN RECIPES BY:

Cannamela SINCE 1956

The company CANNAMELA was founded in Bologna in 1956 out of the entrepreneurial spirit of a family carrying the same name. In 1995 it became part of the Bonomelli group, and since then it has been steadily growing. Currently, CANNAMELA is the most highly recognised, distributed and purchased brand on the Italian market of spices and aromatic herbs.

50 years of expertise and constant research.

CANNAMELA’s leadership lays on its precious know-how. Over 50 years of experience in a challenging market such as the spice industry amounts to an estimable wealth of knowledge.
And it is thanks to the knowledge of markets of origin and the dedicated structure of professionals in Purchasing, R&D and Quality that CANNAMELA can purchase directly in the producing countries, selecting only the most trusted suppliers and the best raw materials.

of markets of origin and the dedicated structure of professionals in Purchasing, R&D and Quality that CANNAMELA can purchase directly in the producing countries, selecting only the most trusted suppliers and the best raw materials.

By holding our selected suppliers to extremely high standards of quality, we ensure the quality of our product already from the supply stage. The purchased raw ingredients undergo accurate and rigorous analyses, with the aim of accepting only those batches that meet our strict qualitative requirements.
The raw ingredients used by CANNAMELA undergo a sanitation process involving pasteurisation, a process that alters neither the nutritional values nor the flavour of our spices and herbs.
Every year, CANNAMELA heavily invests in the research and development of new products to keep up with eating trends on the market: from the Organic range to Seasonings, from Freeze-dried products to our Sauce Preparations, the exclusive Sapori dal Mondo (Ethnic line range); the new Specialities and the latest 2014 release, the Panato Pronto (Ready Breading range). The CANNAMELA packaging is always evolving to make our products on the shelves easily identifiable, to make it easier for the customers to use them and to introduce new and practical formats.
That Italian touch, mixing genius and the love of savoury and high-quality products in the kitchen, is CANNAMELA’S winning recipe.
