🌸 Happy Pasquetta! 🌸

In Italy, the day after Easter Sunday is called Pasquetta, or Easter Monday. It's a special day for Italians to enjoy the spring weather, relax, and spend time with family and friends.

Traditionally, people go on picnics, short trips, or outdoor excursions, bringing food, drinks, and games to share in parks, countryside, or by the sea. It's a joyful way to celebrate friendship, nature, and the arrival of spring.

Think of it as a day full of sunshine, laughter, good food, and fresh air—a perfect chance to enjoy the simple pleasures of life! 🌿☀️

The Italian Aperitivo: more than a drink 🍸🍹

In Italy, the aperitivo is a social ritual - a moment to pause, connect, and enjoy quality food and drinks. 🇮🇹
From classic bitters and vermouth to olives, cheeses, and small bites, it’s about balance, craftsmanship, and conviviality, not excess.

For Italian producers, the aperitivo is a storytelling opportunity: it’s not just about exporting products, but sharing a lifestyle that embodies authenticity, quality, and social connection.

By presenting products in their cultural context, producers can stand out internationally and invite buyers and consumers to experience Italian traditions.

🇮🇹 Export agroalimentare italiano: record storico nel 2025!

Nonostante dazi USA e tensioni globali, il Made in Italy continua a crescere: 𝟕𝟑 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢 𝐝𝐢 𝐞𝐮𝐫𝐨 𝐝𝐢 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐥 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓, un segnale chiaro della forza culturale del nostro cibo.

Gli Stati Uniti restano uno dei mercati più importanti, con +7,2% di crescita delle esportazioni italiane. Quando un prodotto ha identità, storia e qualità, il prezzo passa in secondo piano.

Formaggi DOP, salumi artigianali, prodotti da forno, caffè… non sono solo prodotti: sono territori, memoria, rituali. E questa dimensione intangibile li rende resilienti anche in contesti difficili.

Il consumatore globale oggi sceglie autenticità, trasparenza e origine.
E sempre più spesso… sceglie Italia. 🇮🇹

💡 L’agroalimentare italiano non è solo economia: è cultura, racconto e esperienza.
