Slow Food, founded in Italy in the 80’s, gave birth to the “locavore” preferences we see today in
Restaurateurs, Chefs, and their customers. The advantages for restaurant professionals are clear:
support of local economies, firsthand knowledge of who raised and grew your products, a reduced carbon footprint, and storage time extensions. No other company shares CW’s commitment to provide the best from around the globe and even more importantly, the best from our local suppliers.
In the Ohio Valley and across our 6-State Territory we highlight products from:
