Fortune Gourmet Specialities Pvt.Ltd came into being in April of 1997. Fortune is built on a dedication and overriding passion for good food. Our love of fine foods will continue to drive every aspect of the company’s development. From our foundation as one of the only specialists in cheese, we have rapidly expanded into a broad range of products including processed meats, seafood, pasta and other specialty products. We presently source our products from Europe, the Far East, Australia, USA and India and pride ourselves on our ability to seek out the finest products. On a local level, our suppliers range from being the largest milk cooperative in Asia (G.C.M.M.F.Ltd.) to small specialist supplies of Cheese, Charcuterie and Processed meats. On a international level they range from Italian companies like Zanetti S.p.A to much bigger conglomerates like Grandi Salumifici Italiani S.p.A. Innovation, quality and authenticity have remained our watchwords and have not only won us recognition but have built us an enviable reputation as pioneers in the introduction of unusual, exotic and premium food products to inspire the most discerning of customers.
