Since 1926, Musco Food has imported and distributed the finest foods of the Mediterranean and beyond.

Flavorful cheese, mouthwatering charcuterie and carefully curated dry goods have filled the racks of our warehouse for nearly one century.

Musco Food is a family-owned and family-run company – while we’re proud of our long heritage, we’re not ones to rest on our laurels. We add hundreds of new products to our portfolio every year and are constantly looking for better ways to serve our customers.

You may wonder, what is this pattern about? Musco Food has been around for nearly one century – 92 years to be exact.

For our recent rebrand, we delved into our historic paperwork, and chose to celebrate the colorful and whimsical postage marks, logos & stamps of our early importing years. We hope you’ll find them as delightful as we do.

We service a wide array of establishments, ranging from delis and mom & pop shops to larger distributors and retailer chains. At Musco Food, our philosophy is simple: we consider our customers to be true partners, and value relationships based on trust, respect, and mutual growth. We hope you’ll join the family.
