Giacomo International Food GmbH

The founder of Giacomo, Amit Ranka, came from the fashion scene in Milan to Berlin.

As a vegetarian he was disappointed with what was on offer in Germany.
A lot of vegetarian products had meat based ingredients.

He decided to develop food to support vegetarian and healthy nutrition without sacrificing the joy of taste.

Milk products and cheese form an important part of the vegetarian diet.

It is no surprise that Giacomo began by developing and producing different kinds of cheese.

Giacomo launched an own cream-cheese line in 1999.
The production of Giacomo grilled cheese began in 2002.

The Indian background of the company’s founder influenced a new product developed in 2003.

In summer, 2003, the Giacomo premium product “Giacomo Bombay Lassi” was launched in Germany.

The Indian yogurt drink to-go has been very much in demand since then.

The positive reaction to the product encouraged the management to concentrate on yogurt drinks for the time being.
