Rescue delicatessen instead of throwing it away

Here you will find discounted delicatessen that is waiting to be rescued: food with a shorter shelf life, with a small dent in the box or a bulge in the can, as well as products that a manufacturer or importer has discontinued. These good things are simply too good to throw away – and with every rescued jar, you make a small contribution to reducing food waste. Fairly priced, unchanged in taste.

Best before date instead of expiry date

The best before date, or BBD, was only introduced in 1981 with the Food Labelling Regulation – many generations before that preserved, pickled and seasoned food without any printed date at all. There is still no legally defined shelf life; each manufacturer determines for themselves how long they stand by the flawless quality of their product.

Small manufacturers in particular play it safe and tend to print shorter shelf lives on their chocolates, baked goods and sauces – products that often still retain their melt-in-the-mouth quality, aroma and character for many months after the date has passed. The BBD is therefore neither an expiry date nor a deadline, but rather a cautious estimate by the manufacturer. All the products offered here are flawless in quality and taste – that is our promise.

Discounted pasta from Italy

We source our pasta directly from manufacturers in Italy, and sometimes the shipping company does not handle the fragile cargo as carefully as the pastaioli deserve. Dented corners, a nick on the edge, a tear in the box – inside it is waiting undamaged: genuine Italian pasta, bronze-die extruded and slowly dried. Grab yours while supplies last.
