Born in New York of German parents I grew up with a love for both Germany and the USA. I was lucky to have access to German and European products well before most Americans. As a child I enjoyed Gummy Bears and Nutella well before my friends new what they were missing... As I got older I spent a lot of time visiting family in Germany and discovering new places, cultures and foods through out Europe. It is when I returned home that I missed the many wonderful products that were still not readily available back in the USA. One day I decided to change all that and Global Gourmet Goods was born.
