A history of tradition, craftsmanship…
mamma emma was born in 2013 from Master Srl, founded in 1992. Master’s owners, Adriano Bianco and Giovanni Favretto, have always combined their engineering knowledge with their love of good food. This union, gave birth to the concept of industrial craftsmanship. By designing the necessary machinery themselves, thanks to their technical training, the two partners were able to create a production process that follows every step of the traditional recipe.
The results? Today, mamma emma is proud to export the originality of Italian gnocco to more than 15 countries on 5 continents.
…and an eye always on the future
Tied to the memories and quality of food of yesteryear, we are always looking to the future to bring many tasty novelties to the table, as our continuous progress shows:
- We are always creating and testing new products thanks to a quality control laboratory that effects more than 500 tests per year on incoming raw materials, packaging, and finished products
- We have a cook who works closely with the R&D department to create new products and new recipes
- Our warehouse is fully automated, with a robot making up the pallets
- Our production lines are always updated with the latest technology.
