Schnucks Welcomes Customers to Their Italian Table

Grocer introduces super-premium, authentic Italian line of products offering exceptional quality

ST. LOUIS, SEPT. 15, 2026 - Schnuck Markets, Inc. today announced the launch of Culinaria Italian Table - a line of super-premium, authentic Italian culinary products now available to customers at all Schnucks stores. Debuting along with Schnucks’ semi-annual "Taste of Italy" event, the new collection delivers high-quality, specialty Italian fare straight to store aisles.

Sourced directly from Italy, the Italian Table line includes more than 40 different products spanning pastas, sauces, olive oils, and vinegars with more to follow later this fall. Each product prominently highlights its Italian origin and serves as a trusted, high-value alternative to higher-priced specialty imports. Designed as an affordable indulgence, Italian Table products cater to shoppers seeking elevated homemade dining experiences and specialty market quality without the necessity of visiting Italy or multiple specialty stores.

"Our goal is to simplify and enhance our customers’ grocery shopping experiences while also bringing them extraordinary quality at an affordable price," said Schnucks Vice President of Center Store Tim Horton. “With Italian Table products directly from Italy, we are giving home chefs and food lovers a way to easily enjoy authentic flavors every day in the comfort of their own homes."

As a special incentive to try the new brand, Schnucks is offering customers 25% or more off all Italian table products through October 13.

Key Features of Italian Table product available at Schnucks:

• Directly Imported: Every item is authentic and imported straight from Italy, guaranteeing genuine regional taste profiles and traditional crafting methods.
• Broad Product Assortment: The launch features more than 40 curated items across key shelf-stable grocery categories, with future plans to extend into Schnucks’ fresh departments.
