About

Gattuso was founded in 1936 by Pasquale Gattuso in Montreal’s Villeray neighbourhood.

The company first specialized in representing and distributing products from European food manufacturers before engaging in the manufacturing and transformation of various foods. Over the years the company became a true institution in Quebec and Canada’s food industry, running one of the largest olive transformation plants in the world. 

In 2004, Gattuso launched its range of Biobio cheeses made with organic milk from Quebec farms and certified by Québec Vrai and Aliments du Québec. 
Quickly, this premium brand became known for its distinctive character and broad selection of local and imported cheeses.

Through various partnerships with numerous small and large retailers and other leading forces in the industry, Biobio is now considered a significant brand in Quebec and Canada’s responsible and sustainable agro-food industry. Biobio is also proud to be a key contributor to the promotion of healthy eating.
