Luisella

When Luisella's founder, Patricia Di Chiara couldn’t find a chocolate spread like the kind she used to enjoy growing up in Italy that was safe for her son’s school lunch, she made her own! “At Luisella Foods, they truly believe that everyone should be able to enjoy delicious foods that are Safe, Healthy and Socially Responsible.“ Luisella is named after her mother who gave me a lifetime of memories in true Italian fashion of sitting at her table watching her as she made healthy and delicious meals filled with love for her family. 

When Patricia moved to Canada, she studied culinary arts and relished in the opportunity to feed my family, as her mother had, with nurturing food made with love.

It wasn’t long before she realised that the occurrence of serious allergies was far more likely in North America than it was in Europe and many of the treats we enjoyed so much in Italy were off limits for her son if he was to take them to school. I searched high and low for allergen-free, safe alternatives for many of these items. And when the search fell short, Patricia decided to make her own.
