True Italian Taste is part of the program “The Extraordinary Italian Taste“.
The project is part of a national campaign whose main goal is to promote awareness in the world about the authentic and certified agri-food Italian products, as in the continent supermarkets’ shelves extensively host many products evoking Italy, neither having any connection to Italy, nor involving an Italian manufacture.
