ABOUT THE EXTRAORDINARY ITALIAN TASTE
Misleading marketing phrases like “product of Italy” or “made for distributor in the US” misinform average consumer of Italian sounding product’s origin and value. This issue has risen to new heights in the past few years, and the average consumer is unaware of its existence. Truly Italian manufacturers follow strict guidelines of authentic region of production, thus ensuring superb value of the product.

Certifications like DOP, IGP for food producers and DOCG, DOC, IGT enforced by the European Union indicate that the product is truly produced where stated, ensuring quality and value of the product.

Italian Sounding project was created to inform the consumer on the value of truly Italian products and provide necessary education to distinguish them from Italian sounding imitators.
