History
Making it easier to use garlic in the kitchen since 1980
GIA was founded in 1980 in San Carlo in the province of Ferrara, in Emilia Romagna, an area with a strong agricultural and culinary tradition. The idea came from growing garlic and from a brainwave by the founder, Modesto Giberti, to create a product that would make it easier to use. GIA’s goal was to make a handy, long-life packaged product, that would keep the same flavours as the fresh product, without leaving any odours on hands after use.
With this in mind, GIA wanted to bring the unmistakable flavour of garlic to dinner tables all over the world.
The Idea
The idea was to make a garlic puree with the finest ingredients, packaged in a format that would ensure its quality and organoleptic properties over time: an aluminium tube.
It is still made to this day just like it was 40 years ago, with all the attention to detail and passion which have always been a hallmark of GIA. During these years the Company extended the range of products with the aim of giving consumers quality and convenient products like sundried tomato puree, chilli puree, onion puree, shallot puree, green pesto, anchovy paste and soffritto vegetable base mix.
