The Company
Hello, nice to meet you!
Have you ever been to a house party where you brought a special dish – perhaps a secret family recipe or a regional delicacy – and ended up stealing the show?
People at the gathering can't stop raving about your dish: "Wow, these are incredible! Who brought these?"
Inspired by moments like this, our brand and company were born. "MORDI & GODI" is an Italian expression which means "BITE & ENJOY”.
Our mission is to make you the star of any gathering where food is involved by offering innovative, authentic, and mouthwatering finger foods that you can savor in the comfort of your home among loved ones.
The company was founded by a trio of Brazilian-Europeans and an Italian, all seasoned food industry professionals with more than 20 years of experience. They're not only experts but lifelong friends, bonded by their shared love for Brazilian Style Pão de Queijo, Italian cuisine, and having a great time together!
