Product Quality & Storage

Q: How do you ensure product freshness and quality?
We work closely with trusted producers and select items that are harvested, processed, or frozen under conditions designed to preserve flavour and freshness. For example, one of the cheeses we supply is made from milk produced just 9 hours earlier, ensuring high quality and freshness. We also prioritise provenance and consistency, sourcing from dedicated farms or producers whose methods we monitor and log.

Q: What are your storage and handling standards (e.g., cold chain, frozen, ambient)?
We adhere to strict storage and handling standards to ensure the quality and safety of all our products. Our operations are fully accredited to recognised certifications, including BRC Grade A and EFSIS, covering chilled, frozen, and ambient goods. We maintain a controlled cold chain for chilled and frozen items, monitor temperatures throughout storage and transport, and ensure that ambient products are stored in clean, dry conditions. These measures allow us to deliver products in optimal condition to our customers.

Q: Do your products meet local food safety regulations? What certifications do you hold?
Yes. Salvo 1968 adheres to all relevant local and regional food-safety standards. Our operations are accredited to recognised certifications, including BRC Grade A and EFSIS, ensuring the safe storage and distribution of chilled and ambient foods.

Q: Can you provide product specifications or COAs (Certificates of Analysis)?
Yes — we can provide product specifications and Certificates of Analysis on request. Please reach out with the specific product(s) you’re interested in, and we will supply the relevant documentation for your lot or batch.

Q: Do you offer private label or custom packaging?
Yes, we can certainly look into this for you. For example, we’re able to offer custom pizza boxes, and we can also potentially supply white bags of flour if needed.
We’d just need to discuss order quantities and specific requirements to confirm what’s possible, as these options depend on minimum order numbers and supplier approval. Once we have your details, we can coordinate with our provider — they’ve confirmed they’re happy to support this type of arrangement.

Q: Can you source specific products on request?
We handle this on a case-by-case basis. Some customers order in quantities that allow us to source specific products for them. In certain situations, we can also arrange direct delivery from the producer to the customer, rather than the product going through Salvo first.
