About A Priori Specialty Foods Importing & Distribution
A Priori Specialty Foods Importing & Distribution operates from Salt Lake City, Utah, where it was founded in 2006 by a cheesemonger and retail buyer who grew frustrated that no American distributors focused on the craft chocolate niche. The founder's obsession with artisanal chocolate led to a business built around sourcing products that reflect true craftsmanship. The company imports and distributes a curated range of specialty foods, including craft chocolate, tinned fish, bitters and botanicals, cheese and salumi, and gifting items. Cheese and salumi distribution is limited to the western United States. Every potential product undergoes rigorous blind tasting, and items are rejected if ingredient provenance does not meet exacting standards. The operation emphasizes Old World style, seeking out goods made by hand with outlier levels of skill. A Priori serves wholesale customers across the specialty food trade, supplying retailers, foodservice operators, and gourmet grocers. Its catalog features producers of craft chocolate, tinned fish, bitters, and artisanal cheese and salumi, with the perishable cheese and salumi lines restricted to western states to maintain quality. The business was started to fill a gap in the market for a distributor dedicated to craft chocolate, and it continues to differentiate itself through a blind-tasting vetting process, a focus on hand-made Old World methods, and a strict requirement for excellent ingredient provenance across every category it carries.
