Foodelicious Food & Gifts

What Foodelicious Food & Gifts does

Foodelicious Food & Gifts is a privately-held Dutch e-commerce company that imports and sells specialty Mediterranean foods — principally olive oils, balsamic and fruit vinegars, herbs, spices, sauces, pasta, chocolates, and nuts — directly to Dutch consumers through its WooCommerce storefront at foodelicious.nl. Founded in 2011/2012 and headquartered in Schijndel with a wholesale/bottling facility in Bergschenhoek, the company operates with 1–10 employees and a Dutch-language site offering free shipping within the Netherlands on orders above €60.

The product mix combines a private-label "Foodelicious" range — extra virgin olive oils bottled from Sicilian, Andalusian, and Greek olives, IGP-certified balsamic vinegars aged 6 and 15 years bottled in-house at Bergschenhoek, and fruit vinegars with high fruit content — with curated imports from specialty European producers such as Famiglia Mussini, Wajos, La Chinata, Due Vittorie, Gianni Calogiuri, and Betis. Gift packages (kadopakketten), including curated Mother's Day sets and gift vouchers, sit alongside the core assortment.

Revenue is generated through one-off direct-to-consumer webstore sales supplemented by a wholesale channel serving food-service and professional buyers. Pricing is unit-based across a wide price range (roughly €2.89–€135), with bundle and multi-pack discounts. Distribution is exclusively Netherlands-domestic, customer acquisition relies on organic SEO and a small social/WhatsApp presence, and there is no disclosed external funding, investor base, or revenue figure. The operating model is consistent with a founder- or family-owned lifestyle specialty retailer rather than a venture-backed growth business.
