Standards & information

Production information

The Bedford site brings daily production and packing together in one operation. Contact the team for current technical and quality documentation.

Product-level assurance marks

The 2025 catalogue records the Red Tractor mark against applicable cheese lines, so buyers can check individual products rather than rely on a range-wide claim.

Vegetarian product markers

Vegetarian status is recorded at product level in the 2025 catalogue and on each range table on this website.

Distribution through Carnevale

Valerio’s is the manufacturer; the C. Carnevale Group provides the wider distribution network serving food businesses across the UK.

Honest provenance, product by product

The 2025 catalogue labels every line with its origin, vegetarian status, Red Tractor assurance and shelf life. Nothing is implied — it’s printed next to each code.

UK made

The majority of the range is made in Bedford — flagged ‘UK’ in the catalogue for every affected product code.

EC origin

Where a product is sourced outside the UK, the catalogue says so plainly: ‘EC’ for European origin, such as the euro block mozzarella and sliced chorizo.

Shelf life, per product

Every product lists its shelf life in days — from 9 days for hand-made burrata and stracciatella to 90 days for gas-flushed sliced pepperoni.

Audit-ready paperwork

Every code, origin and shelf life, one download.

The 2025 product list is the single source of truth for buyers: codes, pack formats, origin marks, vegetarian status and shelf lives for all ten ranges.
