This important tournament is the perfect opportunity to introduce our brand to US tennis and food fans and elevate our brand’s image.”

Supported by the great successes of 2023, the Italian Company continues to promote its high-quality, imported Italian charcuterie to US sports fans and foodies. Thanks to its 100% Italian imported cured meats, the Company is growing year after year in the US market.
