Four generations tied together by a passion and love of good food, three children that continue the tradition, two commandments: respect for the recipes and selection of only the best ingredients.
One family.
One kitchen.
The back-bone of the company is the people. And the stories of those who love good local food.
Passion. One word is all that’s needed to sum up the way in which La Cucina di Paola 1985 made it to your table. It all started in Santi Angeli, a small village on the northern side of Montellò in the province of Treviso, with our great-grandparents who came to be known through the noble art of cheesemaking.
The food company proper was launched in 1985 with Paola and Valerio Bolzonello, when their cuisine won over customers in local markets. Years of sacrifice and hard work followed. They sold ready prepared dishes, cheeses, cured meats and other local products from fair to fair as they travelled between local weekly markets.
This is how they made a name for themselves, travelling from Veneto to Friuli in a hired van dating back to 1949. Even in this way, by moving from one village to the next, passion plays the leading role: difficulties are overcome and results are obtained. Especially when this love of good food is accompanied by good ideas.
Ideas that have been developed by their children Francesca, Isaia e Jacopo giving light to a new range of gastronomic products and ready-made dishes. The result? You can taste them on a daily basis with our mouth-watering suggestions.

Solid values.
Time.
Ours is a company that is based on time. It does not run, it does not escape. It goes at the right pace and when needed takes a step forward. This doesn’t happen by chance but because there is a family behind La Cucina di Paola 1985. People who live for this work.
Tastes.
The dishes of our gastronomy are the result of a skilful search to observe, capture and protect everything that allows the raw ingredients to maintain their authentic flavours. Without forgetting, however, the needs of palates that love to discover the evolution of taste.
Listening.
La Cucina di Paola 1985 works like this, by listening to the customer. Always. It is part of how we work, when we go to markets we talk to people. Because we care about our customers, it’s our principal value.
Our philosophy?
We are always there.
We’ll see you at the market.
That's how we started, manning the local markets. In Veneto and Friuli. Because this is where our roots are, our way of cooking and preparing fish (and other) dishes. But also gastronomic products such as cured meats, cheeses and other local produce. Here are the provinces where you can find our van.

Real people, sincere smiles, people who cook for the love of it: this is the Bolzonello family.
Development since 1985.
We start with a direct relationship with the customer, controlling the entire supply chain in order to personally select all the products and raw ingredients. Without the need for intermediaries, going directly to the producer. Then we take a step forward. Because that is how it should be. Tradition must be respected, but needs change.
We process the products by hand to ensure the utmost care is taken, while also making the most of new technologies and processing techniques in the industry, which allow us to guarantee high standards of quality and efficiency.
Things are constantly changing. But not too much. To find out how, take a look at our method.
