The Outset Podcast is hosted by Outset Cornwall, providing support and inspiration to help you to start, run and grow your small business.

Valentina Langley was in the midst of planning the opening of her brand-new delicatessen in the centre of Truro when the COVID-19 pandemic hit.

Forced to rethink her plans, she decided to offer gourmet Italian food boxes, freshly prepared in her kitchen, to help bring an authentic slice of Italy to people’s homes.

Valentina chats to our host Rich about her lifelong passion for food,  her childhood spent growing up in Italy and how the challenges she faced starting her business during the pandemic has opened her eyes to more ways she can run her food business.
