Authentic Italian flavors delivered from the Piedmont region
Our brand has a factory (pictured below) located in the natural rich land of Italy's Piedmont region, known as the mecca of slow food. We are committed to using body-friendly ingredients and delivering authentic Italian flavors.
Since our establishment in 1983, for over 40 years, we have pursued deliciousness that satisfies our Japanese customers. Our product lineup boasts over 100 items, covering almost all Italian ingredients. We put our heart into making our products every day, often incorporating careful handcrafting.
Our Passion and Commitment to Manufacturing
Take, for example, our tomato cans, which have the largest number of products in our lineup. We strive to maintain freshness by processing them within 8 hours of harvesting, and we limit our fields to areas in southern Italy particularly suitable for growth, meticulously selecting ingredients to achieve deliciousness.
Our "Extra Virgin Oil," a long-selling product since its release, uses only organic olives cultivated in the Mazara region (the area from Palermo province to Agrigento province in southeastern Sicily). Furthermore, to prevent the olives from being damaged and oxidized, each one is carefully hand-picked and cold-pressed within 24 hours of harvesting.
Our balsamic vinegar also employs the world's most stringent biodynamic farming methods (where nothing from outside the farm can be used, and the health of the soil is maintained by using compost made from livestock and fruits raised on the farm itself). We respect the rhythm of nature and maintain the life forms inhabiting the fields.
Since our founding, we have focused on environmentally and people-friendly organic deliciousness, and now we offer a more luxurious lineup such as "SOLLEONE Bio Premium" and "SOLLEONE Bio Red Label," as well as child-friendly lines like "SOLLEONE Bio Kidsline," constantly striving to satisfy our customers even more.
In addition, high-end ingredients such as "SOLLEONE Truffle," which leverages the keen eye of skilled craftsmen, and "SOLLEONE Porcini," which boasts top-class aroma, are highly praised by restaurant chefs.
Origin of the Brand Name
The sun is the source of all life on Earth. When the sun sign is in Leo, it is said to be the time when the sun shines brightest and life activity is most vibrant throughout the year. From this, we named our brand "Sole Leone" (Lion of the Sun). We will continue to deliver Italian flavors that bring joy to our customers, living up to our brand name.
