San Marco Trading Co.

Bringing Italy (and Beyond) Directly to Texas Tables

​

​Born from a deep love for authentic tradition and culinary heritage, San Marco Trading Co. was founded with one purpose, to bridge the world of Italian producers with the vibrant markets of Texas and the United States.

​

Our story begins in San Marco dei Cavoti, a small hilltop town in Southern Italy where history runs as deep as the olive roots that nourish its land. Generations of farmers, winemakers, and cheesemakers have perfected their craft there, each product carrying the soul of its region. It’s also the town our founder’s great-grandfather came from, and through this work, we’ve come full circle, reconnecting our family’s origins with the modern revival of its spirit.

​

Inspired by those families, we built a company that honors their integrity while opening new doors to American retailers and consumers who value authenticity, traceability, and taste.

​

Headquartered in Austin, Texas, San Marco Trading Co. operates at the crossroads of food, culture, and commerce. We work directly with producers, no intermediaries, ensuring that every olive oil, wine, spice, cheese, and fresh-roasted Italian espresso we import reflects the same quality you’d find in Italy’s finest kitchens. Our model emphasizes origin transparency, sustainable sourcing, and fair partnerships that strengthen both sides of the Atlantic.

​

We proudly represent iconic and emerging brands such as Fattoria Petrini, La Nuova Casearia, Fantini Wines, and I Due Principati, along with others that embody the values of innovation, authenticity, and respect for nature.

​

Among our most cherished partnerships is Rocca Aurunci, where the Marotta family is reviving an ancient terroir and grape variety renowned for its ability to age gracefully and for its extraordinary taste, a living connection to Italy’s emperors and timeless viticultural heritage.

​

But we’re more than an importer, we’re storytellers. Through rich digital media, culinary collaborations, and in-store experiences, San Marco Trading Co. connects consumers not just to products, but to the people and places behind them. From the olive groves of Le Marche to the dairy farms of Campania, from vineyards in Lazio to tables in Texas, our mission is simple: to bring honest flavors, real stories, and meaningful connections to every shelf and every home.
