General FAQ

Buscema Gastronomia has been in business since 1987, though its roots in the food industry date back to the early 1960s. Specializing in the production and distribution of vegetables preserved in oil, it was among the first Italian companies to offer preserves not only in glass jars but also in refrigerated trays, ensuring a fresher and more flavorful product. The product range spans from olives and vegetables preserved in oil to marinated fish, with a recognized excellence in grilled products, the company’s flagship line.

The history of Buscema began in 1966, when Luigi Buscema started producing and selling gourmet specialties in Piedmont at a well-known company of that era. Over the years, the company has grown, relocating its production to Crotone and expanding its presence in Italian and international markets.
