EMPORIO ITALIA
The new Italian food portal for the Iberian Peninsula
WHY. EMPORIO ITALIA
Italy at your fingertips
As Italians, we have many times experienced the difficulties in sourcing our beloved products outside Italy. In fact, often, not all genuine products are available or, when available, their availability is spread over several stores making the experience and logistics frustrating.
The other option was to order products directly from Italy but this was usually associated with long waits for products and significant and inappropriate shipping costs.
OUR MISSION
We want to offer the best choice of products through our online portal, with a choice ranging from everyday favorites to the most gourmet and luxurious foods, so, in this way, we can satisfy both daily needs and the most special occasions.
When selecting products we pay special attention to quality and the best possible cost/convenience ratio. We try to optimize purchasing and logistics costs in order to keep prices as close as possible to those found in Italy.
Thanks to our warehouse based in the centre of Portugal, we are able to offer delivery within 24/48 hours at a reasonable shipping cost. Thanks to our website and the chats available on the most popular social media, we want to offer a personalised customer service by answering any problem or request.
In general, our dream is to promote the experience of real Italian food in Portugal as much as possible.
genuineness and authenticity
OUR VISION
OUR COMMITMENT TO THE ENVIRONMENT
The first step is to build partnerships with like-minded companies, selecting products with the highest quality standards, giving more and more space to organic and environmentally friendly products, respecting animal welfare and offering fair remuneration to producers. These are all clear and fundamental priorities for us. We are also aware of the need to shorten the supply chain and transport goods in the most efficient way, with the lowest level of carbon emissions. We are always looking for the best logistics solutions.
A very important part of being environmentally friendly is reducing packaging. We do our best to influence our partners in that direction, and in the meantime, we use recycled or biodegradable material for our packaging and wrapping. For example, we are also working to reuse most of the packaging we receive from our suppliers. Therefore, do not be surprised if you receive a box of pasta or peeled tomatoes, but rejoice in the fact that we have saved a box of cardboard multiplied by the number of annual deliveries we make, this also is a significant contribution to the decrease of our environmental impact.
