Even we, being Italians ourselves, are sll oen sur-prised by the excellence of the products of our land, which were given life by local producers who are dedicated to the taste of tradion. We met hun-dreds of them and have selected those we consid-ered the best for the quality of their products, their reliability and the respect for tradion.

Now we would like to provide the opportunity for our Chinese customers to discover and taste the fruit of their labor. For this reason we have estab-lished Italiana Ltd. Italiana is a "lile piece of Italy" in Hong Kong. With us, it is as if talking directly to our network of specialized producers and suppliers, as we know everyone of them personally.

They provide a wide variety of tradional Italian gastronomic products: in fact there is much, much more to Italy than wine. And they place the quality of their products as their top priority. And thanks to them, Italiana is able to provide not only the most famous Italian products such as wine and oil, but also other parcular products which would other-wisewise be difficult to aain through in other Italian im-ports in Hong Kong.

Also, over the years in the search for and selecon of suppliers, we have acquired the skills to find spe-cific companies that can meet parcular requests desired by the client. And we always keep the qual-ity of the producon as our main aim.
