Who we are
Di Santo & Family is a proudly family-run business founded by brothers Ivan and Maurizio Di Santo – hospitality professionals with roots in Calabria, Italy. With decades of experience in the food industry and a deep passion for Italian pastry traditions, they established the company in Crowborough, East Sussex.
At the beginning of 2025, we took a major step forward by moving into a new, purpose-built production facility. This expansion allows us to grow while staying true to our artisanal methods and commitment to quality.
Our mission is simple: to craft indulgent yet accessible pastries that honour Italy’s rich culinary heritage while embracing modern tastes.
We specialise in handcrafted Italian pastries, from crispy Classic Cannoli and delicate Aragostine to Barchette and other traditional favourites. All our products are made using the finest ingredients, with great care and attention to detail. They are shelf-stable for 6–8 months and do not require refrigeration, making them ideal for retail, gifting and food service. Sustainability is a core value of ours. We produce on demand in small batches, minimise waste, and use 100% recyclable packaging wherever possible.
Every pastry we create is a blend of tradition and innovation, made with Love, for you to Enjoy.
