A Rich History Rooted in Tradition
Mediterranean Fine Foods traces its origins to a passion for Mediterranean culinary heritage, encompassing Greek, Portuguese, and other regional influences. The company’s journey gained momentum in recent years through acquisitions that expanded its portfolio of authentic products.
In 2021, it acquired Lisbon Sausage Company, a longtime producer of Portuguese sausages, integrating the renowned Amaral’s Linguica brand into its operations. This move allowed Mediterranean Fine Foods—also known in some contexts as Mediterranean Greek Products—to upgrade facilities and enhance distribution while preserving traditional recipes.
This local manufacturer operates SQF-certified facilities, emphasizing food safety and quality in every step of production. The mission is clear: to guide consumers toward a healthier, more flavorful lifestyle by supplying premium Mediterranean ingredients to retailers and restaurants.

Iconic Brands and Signature Products
At the heart of Mediterranean Fine Foods’ offerings are its owned brands, which deliver time-honored Portuguese specialties with unwavering quality. The flagship brand, Amaral’s, is synonymous with exceptional sausages. Their linguica—a mildly seasoned, smoked pork sausage infused with garlic, and paprika—embodies the soul of Portuguese cooking, at a lower price.
Equally popular is Amaral’s chourico, a bolder variant with a spicier profile, featuring warm spices that add depth to stews, grills, and sandwiches.

Amaral’s lineup extends beyond traditional links to innovative options like linguica franks, perfect for quick meals or barbecues. Customers can even customize combo packs, such as the 4, 5, 6, and 9 lb. assortment that includes regular linguica, chourico, and other varieties, shipped directly for convenience.
Complementing Amaral’s is Antonio’s, a brand focused on snack foods and grocery items that round out the Mediterranean experience. From savory treats to essential pantry staples, Antonio’s products make it easy to incorporate authentic flavors into everyday cooking. The company’s broader portfolio also includes imported Greek items, like fresh pasteurized sheep and goat milk cheeses with a pleasant rich taste and aroma, blending seamlessly with their Portuguese offerings.
These products aren’t just food—they’re a cultural bridge. Recipes like Chourico Potato Stew or Greek Pasta Salad highlight how Mediterranean Fine Foods’ items can transform simple ingredients into hearty, heritage-inspired dishes.
