Prime Line Distributors was founded in 1981 in South Florida by Mr. Gianni Landi, an immigrant from Italy with more than 50 years of experience in the specialty food industry. Mr. Landi brought with him the rich culinary traditions and food culture of the Old World. His philosophy has always been that cooking is an art, and appreciating the quality and distinction of authentic foods is essential.

From the very beginning, Prime Line has been a pioneer in imported specialty foods in Florida. The company was among the first to introduce unique products to the market such as artisanal imported cheeses, fine cured meats and charcuterie, extra virgin olive oils, aged vinegars, imported pastas, truffles, wild mushrooms, San Marzano tomatoes, specialty rice, premium flours, ancient grains, Italian espresso, and many other exceptional products. In addition to these imports, we proudly represent a number of outstanding artisanal American producers whose products have become staples of the new American cuisine.

Our sourcing philosophy is simple: we travel extensively through distinct regions of Italy, France, Spain, and the United States in search of authentic and exceptional products. Each item is carefully selected and evaluated before becoming part of our portfolio. We maintain close partnerships with our producers, many of whom share our same dedication to craftsmanship, authenticity, and uncompromising quality.
