Innovative Tube-Packed Pastes and Concentrates Revolutionizing Everyday Cooking

Since 1980, GIA S.r.l. has been creating innovative culinary products that make everyday cooking easier while preserving the authentic taste of natural ingredients. The company’s story began with the idea of developing a practical garlic paste that would allow consumers to enjoy the full aroma of fresh garlic without the need for peeling and chopping.

Thanks to decades of experience and carefully developed recipes, the GIA brand has become a specialist in ready-to-use vegetable and seasoning pastes. Its distinctive aluminium tubes ensure convenience, ease of use, and long-lasting preservation of the products’ flavour and aroma.

GIA’s portfolio includes a wide range of ready-to-use pastes and culinary concentrates, such as garlic paste, onion paste, shallot paste, chilli paste, anchovy paste, sun-dried tomato paste, tomato and garlic paste, pesto, soffritto vegetable mix, and ginger paste. Products are available in practical tubes, as well as selected varieties in jars.

GIA combines Italian culinary tradition, innovation, and convenience, making it easier than ever to prepare flavourful dishes quickly and effortlessly every day.
