Alce Nero

Alce Nero is a well-established Italian cooperative that unites organic farmers and producers in a shared commitment to sustainable agriculture, high-quality food, and fair value distribution. Based in Bologna, the cooperative was founded in the 1970s as part of the Italian natural food movement and has since grown into a recognized national brand for organic food products. Alce Nero’s portfolio includes pasta, tomato products, olive oil, honey, legumes, cereals, and a wide range of packaged organic foods, all produced according to rigorous organic standards. The cooperative maintains a governance model in which member farmers and producers have a genuine voice in decision-making, ensuring that commercial objectives are balanced with social and environmental values. Alce Nero places strong emphasis on supply chain transparency and traceability, enabling consumers to understand the origins of the products they buy and the farming practices behind them. The cooperative works with farms across Italy, many of which are located in ecologically sensitive areas where organic farming supports biodiversity conservation. Through ongoing investment in research, product innovation, and consumer communication, Alce Nero continues to be an influential actor in the Italian and European organic food market.
