Crosta & Mollica
Crosta & Mollica is an Italian bakery brand with offices in  Clapham, London.   Our journey began when our founder, James Orr, was in Italy working with farmers to source the best fresh produce for supermarkets back home. The farming families would often serve up delicious local specialities to the farm workers and guests at lunchtime.  Meals were eaten all together and were a time to share good food and company. The wonderful breads became a mealtime favourite for James and soon he was seeking out local mills and bakeries so that he could bring their delicious produce back to the UK.   

Translated from the Italian for ‘crust & crumb’, Crosta & Mollica was founded with a desire to make great Italian food that brings friends and family all together. Years later, we are still dedicated to helping our customers discover the finest bakery products and regional specialities that Italy has to offer.  

Today we work with a select group of bakeries in Italy who produce delicious regional Italian specialities which we have brought together under the Crosta & Mollica brand and which we sell to both national retailers and independents both in the UK and France.  

Our values
We value simplicity and encourage our staff to enjoy themselves at work whilst staying focused on our goals. We ask everyone to give it their all, embracing both creativity and commerciality, inspiring those around us to do bigger and better things in order to grow with the business for the future.    

Our philosophy is based in bringing people together through Italian food and celebrating the joy of discovering Italian food and the pleasures of eating. As such, we try to arrange a themed team lunch each month in our office in Clapham. Our Christmas lunch was particularly memorable, having been treated to a four-course feast put together by Danilo Cortellini, the Head Chef at the Italian Embassy.
