Top 5 Steps to Becoming a Distributor for Mediterranean Fine Foods

How to become a fine foods wholesale distributor—for Mediterranean Fine Foods including Amaral's and Antonio’s food brands.

1.      Understand Mediterranean Fine Foods’ product range and quality standards

Before reaching out, review the Mediterranean Fine Foods catalog on their website. They specialize in premium Mediterranean foods — items like pickled vegetables, sausages, spices and grocery items produced and imported.

Potential distributors should study their brand values: high quality, authenticity, and consistency. Knowing their products and quality standards helps you present yourself as a partner who can maintain their reputation in your region.

2.  Determine your distribution capability and market fit

Mediterranean Fine Foods looks for distributors who already serve or can serve grocery stores, restaurants, ethnic grocers, gourmet shops, and food service providers. Before contacting them, prepare a clear profile:

• The territory or region you cover

• The type of customers you currently serve (e.g., retail vs. food service)

• Your existing infrastructure (warehouse, delivery trucks, refrigeration, sales reps)

• Any certifications (ServSafe, HACCP, SQF, etc.)

• This ensures MFF sees you as a capable partner who can uphold their logistics and quality standards.

3. Contact Mediterranean Fine Foods directly

To become a distributor, contact the company through their contact inquiry form at https://www.medfinefoods.com/contact-us.  You can also email or call their sales department sales@medfinefoods.com or 508-217-7000.

In your message, include:

• Your company name and location

• Description of your distribution network and current customer base

• Volume or category interests (e.g., “I’d like to distribute your sausage and snack line in Northern New Jersey”)

• Storage and delivery capabilities

• Business references or partner brands, if available

4. Complete the distributor setup process

If Mediterranean Fine Foods accepts your inquiry, they’ll typically guide you through:

1. Credit application and wholesale account setup

2. Review of product catalogs and pricing tiers

3. Minimum order requirements (MOQs)

4. Delivery schedules or freight coordination (if outside their direct delivery area)

5. Training on brand presentation and handling standards

6. Once approved, you’ll gain access to their wholesale pricing lists, promotional materials, and customer service support.

5. Maintain compliance and long-term partnership

Because Mediterranean Fine Foods operates under SQF and FDA standards, distributors must handle and store products correctly, maintain cold chain integrity, and ensure accurate labeling. Regular communication with MFF’s team is encouraged for updates on new products or seasonal promotions. Maintaining high performance and service levels can lead to exclusive regional rights or expanded product offerings over time.
