We’re not your average food distributor. At Cook & Nelson, we work with the rule-breakers and taste-makers — the global artisans who are redefining what food and drink can be.

With a passion bordering on obsession, we scour the world for bold, innovative producers shaking up their categories and crafting exceptional fare. These are the brands rewriting the recipe book pushing boundaries with flavour, process, and purpose and creating products that excite, surprise and spark joy in the kitchen.

We don’t just import and distribute these extraordinary products we bring them to life in culture-shaping ways. From the Great New Zealand Toastie Takeover to Burger Nation, we create events that celebrate the best of Aotearoa’s culinary scene and help our brands take centre stage.

If you're a brand looking to make waves in New Zealand, we’ve got the know-how to make it happen. Our consultancy team is also here to guide you through launching, growing, and winning in this market.

Explore our lineup of products and discover a new way to eat, drink, and experience flavour. We hope they bring as much joy to your table as they do to ours.

Stay connected with us @cookandnelson — we’d love to see what you’re cooking.
