EST. 1874
Since 1874, ALLEGRA grocery store has had a history of excellence. We understand the philosophy behind high-end service and exceptional products. We are bound by tradition combined with innovation, authenticity, and craftsmanship. We offer rigorously selected products mixed with passion, dedication, and a desire to excel. From sublime tomato sauces to the smallest capers, each ingredient is a demonstration of quality.
WHY ALLEGRA ?
My epicerie is called 'Allegra', which means 'happy' in Italian. Allegra is derived from 'Allegria', which means happiness, joy. Allegra epicerie is intended to evoke the satisfaction of a good meal. My vision is to bring the culinary treasures of my region in Italy to Tarn (Albi) and combine them with my dynamic life and work experiences across multiple continents. In this way, the art of Italian cooking and dining can be enjoyed more widely.
Astrid Kinigadner in a few words....
Originally from the Dolomites region, in the heart of the Italian Alps, I come from a long line of family grocers. For six generations, my family has demonstrated its passion for gastronomy. It is my dream and my mission to continue this tradition. I have a degree in economics, business and foreign languages. My professional career has combined entrepreneurship and management as well as sales and marketing operations in New York, Miami, London, Berlin, St. Martin/St. Barth and my home region, South Tyrol. A 25-year career in the Italian premium grocery industry has allowed me to develop strong relationships with exceptional producers and top chefs. Finding, presenting and enjoying delicious food is at the core of my being.
Italy at the heart of Albi
