From market stall to dot com, we now serve the nation from our original premises in Edinburgh. We are Scotland's oldest Delicatessen and Italian W**e Merchant; one of Europe's original Specialist Food Shops, founded in 1934. From our humble beginnings, serving the fledgling immigrant Italian community in old Edinburgh, we now list food products and w**es from around the world, and supply the entire UK with an efficient, speedy delivery system that boasts a next-day service to 90% of the population. We are an independent family business - free to place before you new and exciting products together with our more traditional food and w**e. Our roots are firmly planted in tradition - our growth is nourished by technology - our future lies in the pursuit of ever increasing quality, value and service in all that we do. In the online shop you will find our own-baked bread, cakes and biscuits, and an extensive range of cheese, ch*****ne, cookery books, coffee, tea, kitchenware, pasta, rice, salami, sausages, oil, vinegar, port, dessert w**e, wh**ky and w**e - lots of w**e! We hold tastings and cookery demonstrations in our Caffè Bar throughout the year. We also have an on-site gift room and book shop which is converted into a 70 seat theatre during August to become a venue in the Edinburgh International Fringe Festival. Do not hesitate to email us from the contact page with any enquiry or problem. Best wishes and thank you for your custom.

Cheese Alert! Two favourites just in:

🧀 Vacherin Mont d’Or PDO - you read that right! Another seasonal favourite, this year from Switzerland. Rich and nutty, perfect for baking, keep it in it’s birch wrapping with a splash of white w**e and a sprig of Rosemary and you have the cosiest dish. Serve with a baguette, of course!

🧀 Stracchino - IYKYK! A soft, spreadable cheese from Lombardy, pair it with heaps of finely sliced Mortadella in a ciabatta roll and you have an absolute classic sandwich.

Both are available for UK wide delivery at valvonacrolla.com

Big news - Parameswaran’s Special Wynad Black Pepper is here!

This is finest pepper in India, and arguably the world, grown on the Wayanad Plateau in Kerala, India. This organic pepper is naturally farmed: vine ripened, hand harvested and sun dried in tiny batches.

The flavour is complex, powerful and spicy, it will transform your cooking!
