OVERSEAS FOOD TRADING Verified listing

In 1977, Alain Cruanes, the son of a French Algerian Olive oil exporter, first began trading olive oil in Morocco for an Italian clientele. It was when the Italians began dominating the olive oil market that Alain made a decision to move to New York in 1983. Over time, Alain began to import more than just olive oil. He also expanded to capers, anchovies and pasta, offering a line of Mediterranean products to his customers. That is how Overseas Food Trading was created! In 2001, Alain met David Bensadoun and Stephane Picard who joined Overseas Food Trading and became partners in 2003.
