Travel industry veteran Marco Rosa has launched Delicario, a luxury online shop selling fine artisan food and wine. 

The online delicatessen works with small-scale sustainable producers from across Europe, with a focus on sourcing natural ingredients from family-run businesses to sell online as individual items, gift boxes or hampers. 

The website stocks specialities such as charcuterie, truffles, mushrooms, pate, wine and champagne, as well as artisan pasta, sauces and baked sweet treats.

Rosa, who has 20 years’ experience in the travel industry and has previously held roles at Abercrombie & Kent and Belmond, said: “All those who enjoy travelling learn so much about people and local culture through food; from fine flavours unique to the region, to traditional celebrations. 

“Our mission is to bring the best European artisan flavours to the table of appreciative customers, particularly during a period when travel to new and unexplored places is complicated.

“This year, Christmas cheer comes in gift boxes and hampers that capture the very best of authentic ingredients to create a ‘dining out experience’ in your own home.”
