From market stall to dot com, we now serve the nation from our original premises in Edinburgh. We are Scotland's oldest Delicatessen and Italian W**e Merchant; one of Europe's original Specialist Food Shops, founded in 1934. From our humble beginnings, serving the fledgling immigrant Italian community in old Edinburgh, we now list food products and w**es from around the world, and supply the entire UK with an efficient, speedy delivery system that boasts a next-day service to 90% of the population. We are an independent family business - free to place before you new and exciting products together with our more traditional food and w**e. Our roots are firmly planted in tradition - our growth is nourished by technology - our future lies in the pursuit of ever increasing quality, value and service in all that we do. In the online shop you will find our own-baked bread, cakes and biscuits, and an extensive range of cheese, ch*****ne, cookery books, coffee, tea, kitchenware, pasta, rice, salami, sausages, oil, vinegar, port, dessert w**e, wh**ky and w**e - lots of w**e! We hold tastings and cookery demonstrations in our Caffè Bar throughout the year. We also have an on-site gift room and book shop which is converted into a 70 seat theatre during August to become a venue in the Edinburgh International Fringe Festival. Do not hesitate to email us from the contact page with any enquiry or problem. Best wishes and thank you for your custom.

Big news - Parameswaran’s Special Wynad Black Pepper is here!

This is finest pepper in India, and arguably the world, grown on the Wayanad Plateau in Kerala, India. This organic pepper is naturally farmed: vine ripened, hand harvested and sun dried in tiny batches.

The flavour is complex, powerful and spicy, it will transform your cooking!

🍄 It’s V&C Fungi Foray Day! Our foragers are fuelling up with coffee and croissants in the Caffè Bar before being whisked off to a Top Secret location by our expert mycologist Nev Kilkenny for a day of foraging in the forest, picnic and w**e included!

If you couldn’t make it on the foray this year, we’ve got lots of Italian and Scottish mushrooms for you to find in the shop. Have fun! 🍄

Extra Virgin Olive Oil breaking news - Colline di Lamentano has arrived! From the wonderful Zyw family’s groves in Toscana, this oil is made from organic olives of young trees. The result is a delightfully light Olive Oil with a gentle peppery finish.

Many of our customers will know, there is nothing quite like Lamentano Extra Virgin Olive Oil. In case you didn’t know, come along to 19 Elm Row, tasters available for the next month on the top of the olive counter. 🫒

The wait is over and the season is here - Pecorino Tartufo ‘Striate’ is back on the V&C Cheese Counter! Look at those gorgeous ‘streaks’ of Black Truffle running through the cheese.

The ewe’s milk and truffles both come from Emilia-Romagna. The intense aroma of truffles is soothed by the young cheese. It’s a combination that always works.

Add a drop of Italian Erica Heather Honey, pair with a Nebbiolo Langhe. All available at 19 Elm Row or online valvonacrolla.com
