Meet Alfredo
Chef Alfredo Napolitano, President of Aliments O’Sole Mio, is above all the executive chef of the company.
After attending culinary school in Québec, winning the Dairy Bureau of Canada (now the Dairy Farmers of Canada) competition and working as an apprentice at the Château Champlain in Montréal, Chef Alfredo went to hone his culinary skills under the top chefs of Italy and Switzerland.
O’Sole Mio remains a family company whose sole objective is to provide its customers with the freshest flavours of Italy. Our mission is to create ready-to-serve products that are 100 % fresh and made from the best ingredients. This is why Chef Alfredo selects all of his ingredients himself and prepares his recipes without any additives or preservatives. In fact, Alfredo Napolitano has accomplished quite a feat since he’s one of very few entrepreneurs to offer ready-to-serve products made from 100% fresh ingredients.
