A family story of taste, tradition, and connection
Welcome to Cibum
We’re a small, family-run business based in Berkeley, California — but our story begins in Emilia-Romagna, Italy. We have lived in the United States for many years, yet we’ve always stayed deeply connected to our roots. Every year, we return to Italy to visit our home region, reconnect with local producers, and stay close to the land and traditions that shaped our way of living and eating.
What started as a heartfelt mission to import exceptional Italian artisanal products has blossomed into a dynamic ecommerce platform dedicated to bringing the finest, sustainably crafted Italian foods directly to discerning food lovers across the United States.

Our Purpose
We are driven by a profound commitment to preserving and celebrating Italy’s culinary traditions while embracing innovation for a sustainable future. We believe food is a timeless bridge connecting generations — every product we offer tells a story of the land, the people, and the passion behind it, honoring nature and promoting wellbeing.

Our Vision
We strive to become the go-to destination in the US for those who value authenticity, sustainability, and quality in Italian food. We imagine a world where every meal is a conscious experience — a way to connect with the stories, values, and care passed down through generations, and to rediscover the richness of Italian culture through the people and traditions behind each product.

Our Mission
We carefully select small-scale Italian artisans who work with care, integrity, and a strong connection to their local land and culture. Through our user-friendly and engaging digital platform, we highlight their stories, helping our customers understand the value behind each product — from the principles of the Mediterranean diet to the importance of responsible, sustainable food production.
