Nutkao is a leading Italian contract manufacturer that has been creating and producing private label creams and chocolates for over 30 years. The group has its headquarters in Canove di Govone in the Piedmont region and distributes its products to 80 countries.
Antichi Sapori dell’Etna was established in Sicily, Italy, in 2002.

Antichi Sapori is a highly specialized company with dedicated brands for each commercial channel: Pistì, a leading brand in large-scale distribution; Vincente, with a selection of the highest quality pistachios for specialists in the gourmet sector; and Madero Pastry and Madero Quality, which offer semi-finished products for the high-end pastry industry.
