LOS ANGELES, Calif. (CitizenWire) — Ariola Imports is a wholesaler, importer and distributor of the highest quality Italian specialty foods, wine and artisan beer. It not only provides quality products to Southern California and Las Vegas restaurateurs, but also to the occasional celebrity who just has to have some of its amazing Buffalo mozzarella and truffles from Italy.
The restaurant is a competitive industry and restaurants need purveyors that they can count on to stay on top. They require quality products; fast delivery times; and fair prices. Ariola Imports does all this and more.
"None of our competitors provide the fast turnaround time that we do," says Giuseppe Ariola, owner of Ariola Imports. "For instance, if a client orders a product on a Wednesday, I e-mail my contact in Italy and often, that client will take delivery of the product on Thursday afternoon."
Ariola adds that all products are fresh and never frozen.
"We keep nothing stocked," he explains. "Everything is ordered as needed."
It's this fact that may explain why Hollywood celebrities often call Ariola to supply products for their special parties and events.
"While products are wholesale," explains Ariola, "I can't really turn down some of these special requests."
All of Ariola's products are made in Italy. Some of its most popular products include the fresh Buffalo mozzarella and fresh fish from Orbetello, Tuscany, particularly the Branzino and Orata. These fish are gold and green in color and possess a delicate flavor. They are prized fish in Italian cuisine.
The cheese selection not only includes the much sought-after Buffalo mozzarella which hails from Campania, but also fresh artisan cheeses delivered every week from many different regions around Italy.
"I'm not modest," says Ariola. "We simply have the best."
