Home » About us » Our principles and philosophy
At Italyabroad.com, we live and breathe Italian wine and food. Our mission is simple yet uncompromising: to deliver the most authentic Italian experience, rooted in tradition, guided by knowledge, and driven by purpose.
We believe in the wisdom of Hippocrates:
"Let food be thy medicine and let thy medicine be food." Eating and drinking well fuels not only the body but the soul - bringing balance, energy, and joy into our lives.
What We Stand For:
Authenticity, Always
Everything we sell is the real thing—what Italians actually eat and drink. No shortcuts, no “Italian-sounding” imitations. Behind every bottle and bite is a real place, a real artisan, and a real story.
Excellence Without Compromise
We don’t chase trends or labels. We select only wines and foods that express their land, their makers, and their truth—with no compromise on quality. From vineyard to table, we uphold the highest standards of craftsmanship and integrity.
Sustainability is Non-Negotiable
We work exclusively with producers who care for their land, respect nature, and operate with future generations in mind. Our wines are made from healthy, ripe grapes grown in low-yield vineyards. Our foods are free from palm oil, additives, and preservatives—because real quality doesn’t need disguises. Even our packaging is eco-friendly and recycled.
Transparency Over Hype
We believe in honesty - from the label to the price tag. No inflated margins, no gimmicks. Just good wine and food at fair prices, from people who know what they’re doing - and love what they do.
Passion for the Forgotten & the True
We champion small producers, indigenous grapes, and under-the-radar regions. We’re not here for the mass market. We’re here for what’s real—wines and foods that tell stories, honour tradition, and surprise the palate.
Why It Matters
The Italian diet - globally recognised as the Mediterranean diet - is not only delicious but also one of the healthiest in the world. Yet the market is flooded with low-quality imitations and industrial products dressed up in Italian disguise.
At Italyabroad.com, we’ve been standing up for the real thing since 2003. We partner only with small producers and family-run businesses. We know their vineyards, their kitchens, and their values - because we’ve been there. We believe that great wine begins in the vineyard, not in the winery. That food should be made with care, not chemicals. And that less is often more - because quality speaks.
For Italians, food and wine are about connection, family, friends, laughter, and meaning. We want to bring that same feeling to every home, glass, and plate we touch.
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 bringing them to you. We are knowledgeable – true experts in Italian wine and food.
We are Italyabroad.com. And this is our promise to you.
