About Us
OUR STORY
Nivitaly began with one simple idea.
Founder Silvia Vicari grew up immersed in the food culture of Sicily. She experienced firsthand how rich, genuine Italian food should taste when it is made with care, tradition, and authentic ingredients.
After moving to the UAE, Silvia noticed a common problem. Many products in local stores and online claimed to be Italian, but lacked clarity about their origin, production methods, and connections to real producers.
This sparked a mission:
To build a bridge between Italy’s culinary heritage and UAE kitchens.
Silvia’s deep love for Sicilian cuisine and commitment to quality became the foundation of Nivitaly. Today, every product on our platform reflects her belief that authentic food brings people together.
OUR VALUES
Authenticity
We believe real Italian food should come from real Italian producers. We do not sell ambiguous or generic products.
Transparency
Customers deserve to know where their food comes from and how it was made. We provide clear producer information.
Curated Quality
We prioritise products that have been carefully selected for flavour, production integrity, and suitability for UAE lifestyles.
Respect for Tradition
We work with producers who value traditional farming and food-making practices.
Fit for the UAE
Products must withstand UAE climate conditions and perform well in daily cooking.
OUR MISSION
To connect customers in the United Arab Emirates with real Italian food that is genuine, traceable, and selected with integrity.
