As the founder of CDS Foods, a Canadian company that imports and exports fresh produce to countries around the world, Cesare Della Santina is constantly looking for new partners, and origins to bring new, exotic foods to his customers. At present, the company maintains contracts with growers in the United States, Mexico, Argentina, Spain, Mexico and many other countries around the world. While CDS Foods continues to provide its signature products - garlic, ginger, and shallots - Cesare Della Santina has expanded its offerings to include pomelos, Asian pears, dragon fruit, taro and many other specialty products.

CDS Foods began in 2000, as CDS Brokers. It began importing produce less than a year later, and gained a reputation for providing high quality and affordable garlic. The company’s new name reflects its full line of fresh produce and mission to continuing providing new products.

In addition to his work with CDS Foods, Mr. Della Santina maintains a strong commitment to philanthropy and participates in a number of charitable events, including galas and tournaments. His primary humanitarian focuses include children and health care.
