Sabato

Since 1993, Sabato has been bringing the best of Europe to New Zealand, sourcing fine foods from Italy, Spain, and France — often from small, family-run producers who use traditional methods to create truly exceptional products. Over the years, Sabato has introduced New Zealanders to iconic ingredients like La Chinata smoked paprika, Vincotto, piquillo pimientos, and Valrhona chocolate, and continues to discover exciting new flavours on regular sourcing trips to Europe. 

Located in Mount Eden, the Sabato store is a food lover’s haven — open seven days with free parking at the door. Visitors can enjoy cooking demonstrations, product tastings, a curated selection of New Zealand and European cheeses, as well as gourmet pantry staples, kitchenware, and gifts. With in-house prepared meals and a team of knowledgeable staff ready to guide you, Sabato is the perfect place to stock up on ingredients that elevate everyday cooking into something extraordinary.
