De Medici's exclu- sive, meticu- lously curated collection of au- thentic brands has set the highest standard for importers of products from the Mediterranean region. De Medici does not bottle oils under its name, but rather part- ners with its producers in the pro- ducers' brand development. There are no other individual spe- cialty oil and vinegar importer companies that can boast of au- thentic brands from the multiple countries Italy, France, Spain and now Greece. The name of the producer ap- pears on every label and is a rep- resentation of their pride and devotion to quality and authentic- ity. De Medici makes frequent vis- its to these producers – watching the harvest, observing the pro- duction of the oils and inspecting the production facilities – to guarantee the au- thenticity and pro- vide traceability of these fine oils, often- times down to the trees that grew the olives. In addition to brand quality and in- tegrity, De Medici is fully committed to the safety of the oils it imports. Through a rig- orous quality assurance and food safety program, De Medici guar- antees that all supply chain and product specifications meet or ex- ceed the statutory and regulatory requirements for food quality and safety as mandated by the new U.S. Food and Drug Administra- tion and the Food Safety Modern- ization Act (FSMA).
