“Gourmondo offers top-quality culinary delights from outstanding producers with the most extraordinary products,​” said Pascal Zier, managing director of Gourmondo, in a press statement.

“We are delighted to be able to extend our premium range of over 17,000 products to Austria, the UK​ and Ireland.​​
