Provvista

While working as the sous chef at Portland's Zefiro restaurant in the early 1990's Joe Guth was frustrated by the lack of specialty food items available in Portland's wholesale marketplace. Portland's burgeoning food scene and Joe's desire to have access to high quality staples such as olive oil, chocolate, nuts and heirloom beans led him to imagine Provvista. His simple objective - to distribute food products of the best quality at a fair price - has made Provvista a vital vendor for Portland's favorite restaurants.
