Our Manifesto

At Italyabroad.com, we are passionate about Italian wine and food, dedicated to delivering the most authentic Italian experience. We believe that eating and drinking healthily not only enhances our well being but also leaves us feeling energized, revitalized, and balanced. Inspired by Hippocrates' timeless wisdom, we live by the mantra: "Let food be thy medicine and let thy medicine be food".

Our mission is to bring you the finest, most authentic Italian food and wine, thoughtfully sourced from small wineries committed to environmental sustainability and artisans dedicated to using natural ingredients in their creations. The Italian diet, also known as the Mediterranean diet, is renowned as the best in the world.

We are committed to:

Authenticity. We proudly offer only authentic Italian wine and food. Every product we sell reflects what Italians, including us, truly eat and drink;
Quality and being Ethical. Our range is carefully curated to ensure the highest quality. Since 2003, we have partnered with and supported small producers and artisans. You will never find industrial or low-quality products on our website.
To the environment. All our products are crafted with respect for the environment. They are free from palm oil, and made using only natural, healthy ingredients. Additionally, our packaging and cards are made from recycled paper to minimize environmental impact.

We believe that good wine begins with healthy, ripe grapes from low yield vineyards, carefully nurtured to ensure the highest quality. Great wines come from great grapes, while unripe or damaged grapes can only produce mediocre wine. Similarly, food shouldn’t rely on additives or preservatives - quality food doesn’t need them. Only poor quality food requires such additives to mask lack of flavor.

For Italians, food and wine are more than just sustenance - they represent family, friends, home, and cherished moments filled with stories, laughter, and connection. We believe that good food and good wine bring good people together, and sometimes, less really is more. Quality always comes before quantity.

The market is flooded with poor quality, cheap Italian products or those with Italian sounding names. At Italyabroad.com, our journey is about discovering small Italian producers creating exceptional products, and bring them to you. We are knowledgeable - we are true experts in Italian wine and food.
