This year the excellent products of our territory arrive directly in the homes of Italians. For the 2020 Holidays, various initiatives have been launched to support local producers and craft businesses affected by the pandemic, but also to offer Italians the opportunity not to give up good food and find it comfortably at home.
For those who want to indulge a journey through the flavors of Italy or make a "tasty" gift, you can opt for various e-commerce sites with home delivery of regional products. Here are some platforms where you can bring good food to our tables with a simple click.
Trazzere del Gusto
Trazzere del gusto, a Palermo-based company that deals with the selection and distribution of the island's agri-food products, has created an online site to encourage the purchase of these niche products during the Christmas period.
It is a showcase where handcrafted products are displayed: from Carlo Amodeo's black bee honey to Ustica lentil, from Girgentana goat cheese to the preserves of the Ferrante brothers up to Orange Moon's homemade panettone. A way to relaunch the economy of a sector compromised by the health crisis and not to give up the taste of typical Sicilian biodiversity products.

The tender of Arsial, (P) orto Sicuro, was created to support Lazio companies and promote quality, through the granting of non-repayable grants to support small regional agricultural companies that have suffered the effects of the pandemic not only on their activities, but above all on the marketing of their products through natural channels, such as deliveries to restaurants.
What better spokesperson than DOL (Denomination of Origin from Lazio)? The project by Vincenzo Mancino born to enhance the small productions of the area. Mancino's company will take care of the distribution and marketing of the parcels, in compliance with product quality and health and hygiene standards, so that Italians do not have to give up the taste of Lazio products.
