Our History

Gourmet International, founded by Horst and Erika Nitzsche over 45 years ago in Michigan, began as Erika’s Delicatessen and Import Haus, catering to local demand for authentic German flavors. Incorporated in 1989, the company, now led by second-generation owners Mike and Monica, has expanded to become the exclusive importer of over 35 European brands, serving all 50 states. With recent growth necessitating a move to a spacious 125,000 square foot warehouse and a new website, Gourmet International remains committed to exceeding customer expectations through efficient service and expertise in product selection, merchandising, and marketing, inviting customers to share in their passion for specialty foods.
