Really Good People was founded in 2020 by Joanne Malatesta; right at the beginning of the COVID-19 lockdowns, a period when our focus on dinner choices intensified.

Social media shifted from showcasing the latest online shopping sprees to recreating dishes from the world’s best chefs.

Home bakers and gourmet grocery shoppers alike found their habits transformed.

Meanwhile, the hospitality industry in Melbourne shut down, leading restaurateurs to adapt by transitioning from serving food on plates to packaging it in jars.

With so many new products entering the market, it made sense to establish a new kind of distribution business. That's where Really Good People comes in—a food distribution company with a carefully curated portfolio of products.

We quickly gained the reputation for being the distributor with “all the cool stuff”.

Really Good People believe in the power of community—connecting producers, retailers, and consumers through shared passion for food and creativity.

Our ability to spot trends and nurture innovation makes us a trusted partner in the industry.

We are more than a distributor, we are a brand that champions collaboration, quality, and we’re always on the forefront of the next big thing.
