Carnivale is a cross-border specialist wholesaler founded in Belgium in 2012. We supply chefs and culinary professionals across Belgium, the Netherlands, and beyond with exceptional artisanal ingredients — from rare-breed meats and cheeses to ethically crafted pantry items.

We focus on direct sourcing, traceability, and storytelling. We partner with over 40 small-scale European producers and only offer curated, small-batch, and seasonal goods. Our logistics are cold-chain guaranteed and tailored to the pace of professional kitchens.

Our clients include all categories of Food Professionals including chefs, restaurants, hotels, caterers, provisioners, gourmet grocers, embassies, corporate kitchens, and food entrepreneurs.

Carnivale is a wholesale company for professionals. However, we occasionally host public sales, and soon, will offer a selection of our extraordinary products in a consumer webshop. Sign up to our newsletter or follow us on Instagram to stay updated.
