Love to Italy is a direct import channel addressed to those companies that represent agri-food/wine/beer/spirits excellence 100% “Made in Italy”; a bridge between the Italian producers and the North American market of North Carolina where there is the logistical and commercial centre.Love To Italy has its origin from the analysis of the needs of two different worlds: on a side the US market that loves Italian food products because considers them as high-quality, good and made with passion and knowledge; on the other side the Italian agri-food world where small and medium-sized companies would like to export and to be known although they do not have the necessary economic strength or the proficiency to satisfy the strict regulatory protocols required by laws and import regulations.Our goal is to select Italian high quality products and fully assist the manufacturing companies that want to face a new market like US one.Our team of consultants will assist the companies leading them in every necessary step to fulfill customs obligations and the observance of the legislation about food, wine, beer and spirits.
