For more than 75 years, Costa Fruit & Produce has been part of New England’s restaurant and hospitality community, providing chefs and foodservice professionals with the fresh ingredients they rely on every day.
Privately owned and based in New England, Costa offers a broad selection of fresh produce, specialty foods, dairy, fresh-cut produce and chef-driven ingredients for restaurants, hotels, clubs, institutions and other foodservice operations.
Our relationships extend from the kitchen to the source. We work with local farms, growers and artisan producers throughout New England, while sourcing quality products from trusted partners across the country and around the world.
Fresh Ideas, our in-house fresh-cut division, takes fresh one step further. Our dedicated processing facility produces hundreds of fresh-cut fruit and vegetable items designed to help professional kitchens save time, reduce prep and labor, improve consistency and minimize waste. From everyday cuts and blends to customized solutions, Fresh Ideas gives chefs the convenience of ready-to-use ingredients without losing sight of quality and freshness.
Food safety is fundamental to everything we do. From sourcing and receiving through processing, storage and delivery, Costa maintains rigorous food safety and quality-control practices throughout our operation. SQF certified for quality and food safety.
More than a supplier, we strive to be a resource for our customers — helping chefs discover seasonal ingredients, specialty products, labor-saving solutions and fresh ideas that keep kitchens and menus moving forward.
Since 1950, our focus has remained simple: quality products, dependable service and strong relationships with the people who make New England hospitality happen.
