Our Founding Principles
We believe that food is a special way to experience ancient traditions and appreciate the rich history of the people who still live by them today. These artisans are proud of their craft and we want to take you and your guests on that journey to these remote and unique places. We also know that these foods have been considered healthy for millenia and modern science is revealing more of the benefits today.
Our Process
-
Sourcing
The best foods come from places that stay true to their roots and heritage. We work tirelessly to find locations that are off the beaten path and are often the talk of legends. We partner with artisans around the world that have sustained excellence and tradition throughout generations.
-
Partnerships & Producers
These are artisans who deserve to be discovered. You along with Ancient Foods supports them by providing a marketplace for their efforts and direct investment in their production and villages.
-
Tasting
When you cultivate good relationships with locals in remote regions, they will proudly tell you where to find the best of a particular food. They use these ingredients for their own cooking and we work hard to bring you the recipes and flavors that have been proven to work well together for centuries.
