About us
Launched in 2016, premium baby food company, Piccolo, focuses on nutritious food and family time spent together. Piccolo makes healthy (and very tasty) organic baby meals, cooking products and snacks as well as healthy breakfast and lunchtime snacks for kids. All ranges are packed with vegetables, fruit, herbs and spices to make it easy for parents to give their families a nutritious start in life and promote a lifetime of healthy eating. The Piccolo range spans from four months all the way to 10 years. The full baby range consists of smooth purees suitable from four months, textured meals suitable from 7 months, teething snacks, and a full cooking sauces range. Piccolo Kids offers options for breakfast, home-baking and lunchboxes - taking the guesswork out of finding healthy bites for little ones. Both ranges are all organic, with no added sugar or salt and packed with goodness. At Piccolo, giving back and sustainable sourcing are core values of the business. Piccolo works with small producers and places provenance at the heart of its sourcing decisions, with many of its organic ingredients planted and nurtured in independent family farms across the Mediterranean. The brand launched its bio-based pouches, made from 80% plant-derived materials, in 2019 and has now launched the UK’s first fully recyclable baby food pouch. Piccolo is also committed to giving 10% of profits to charities supporting local families and has donated over 500,000 baby meals to families in need over the last two years. It is currently working with City Harvest to help local families provide their children with the best start in life. Piccolo can be found nationwide in major UK retailers and independent shops, as well as on its own online store.

🏃♂️ Employee Spotlight: Meet Neil Coleman 🏃♂️ From 5k office lunch break runs to smashing ultra marathons, Neil is always pushing his limits - both in and out of the office! Neil Coleman, our Operations Manager, joined the Piccolo team over 1.5 years ago, and since day one, he’s been making waves. 🚀 Whether he's organising the next production of pouches, co-ordinating outgoing deliveries, or tracking logistics performance, Neil is a supply chain pro 😎 ❓ What’s your favourite thing about your role? Making a good spreadsheet (only some can relate) 😆 ❓ Why do you enjoy working at Piccolo? The opportunity to pick up lots of different projects (and free crispy sticks) 😋 But it’s not all about the work, he's also known for his incredible running feats! From conquering the Atlantic Coast 40 miles (for his 40th) to ultra running up Snowdon. He’s racking up those Strava points... Kudos to Neil for all his impressive feats - both in the office and on the track! 🙌

Did you know we were the first to have the UK's first fully recyclable baby food pouch? 👶 ♻️ It's alarming to think we are leaving our planet in a terrible state for future generations. Human activities are taxing the planets natural resources and generating harmful greenhouse gas emissions. As a business, we like to give our packaging another chance at being useful. By making it 100% recyclable, as well as tackling food waste & supporting our suppliers with responsible sourcing. So we made our stage 1 pouches fully recyclable, and we are continuing with a mission to roll recyclable packaging across our whole range 🙌 What we've achieved so far: ✅ Fully recyclable stage 1 pouches (UK first) ✅ Bio-based pouches (UK first to launch with 80% plant derived materials) ✅ Mono-material pouches (EU first 100% recyclable pouch) ✅ Piccolo Kids (91% range fully recyclable) #goodnessforchange #babyfood #recyclable #sustainability

Baby food made by families, for families. Because let’s face it - every parent has been elbow-deep in nappies, running on 3 hours of sleep, and thinking 'What are we feeding this kid?! 😆 Piccolo was born thanks to a REAL mum: From Mum to Founder – meet Cat Gazzoli 👶 So how did it all start? When Cat had her first baby, Juliet, she had visions of feeding her only the best: organic veggies, healthy fats, the works. But what did she find? 🙃 Beige foods 🫠 Sugary snacks 🥲 Mysterious meats 😐 Pureés that looked expired So, like every overly ambitious first-time parent, Cat thought, 'I’ll just make everything from scratch!' Fast forward to her covered in mashed carrots, and drowning in laundry... she knew she needed to try something else. Enter Piccolo: naturally sourced and high quality nutritious baby food for parents who have more important things to do... Like remembering where they put their coffee (or their little one) 😆 Piccolo became Cat’s second baby (okay, technically her fourth now - but at least this one doesn’t throw tantrums). #mumtofounder #familybusiness #nutritionfromnature

At this month's breakfast, we enjoyed: ✨ Freshly baked pastries (from local Comptoir Bakery) ✨ Mockingbird Raw Press juices ✨ Greek style Yeo Valley Organic yoghurts ✨ Fresh Marks and Spencer berries ✨ Gut friendly Granola Bio&Me I B Corp A tasty way to kick off the day! 😉 #teambreakfast #teamsocial
