Earth Day Italia

In Italy, caring for the land isn’t a trend or a slogan that comes to light once a year, it’s a tradition and a way of life.

Italy is a country with “un cuore verde”, a green heart. A country that measures its worth by preserving and protecting the land. In Italy green agriculture and eco-sustainability have been a powerful movement for decades. The pleasures of the table and ecologically-balanced farming methods are valued and encouraged. Italy’s farmhouses, family vineyards and orchards have always been a model for land to hand cooking. The traditional agricultural roots of Italian casalinga (homestyle) cooking are a legacy of Italian cuisine.

Our partners and producers in Italy are committed to preserving and protecting the culinary and cultural traditions of regional Italian food with sustainable farming practices, preserving biodiversity and paying attention to all nutritional aspects of their products. Today we're celebrating our participation and collaboration with our partners and producers in Italy who are dedicated to seasonal, sustainable, and high-quality ingredients supported by their relationship with the land. With great attention to the soil, climate, and environment they continue the invisible link between the land and the unique flavors of Italy that we all enjoy.

Meet our partners and producers in Italy who believe that "people's lives are made possible by the land, we should protect it".
