Officiated by His Excellency (H.E.) Massimo Rustico, Ambassador of Italy in Malaysia, the fair features a wealth of authentic Italian products such as biscuits, coffee, olive oil, chocolate and snacks, truffle, vinegar, pasta, cheese, sauces, condiments, wine and many more.

“This year, the Italian Trade Agency in partnership with The Food Purveyor, a leading name in quality food retail in Malaysia, celebrates Italian excellence in the world of food and drink. We are very proud of this joint project between ITA and The Food Purveyor, under the umbrella of the Italian Ministry for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation. Our objective is to bring a deeper understanding of Italian food and wine, culture, and biodiversity in the Malaysian market for Italy’s exports.

“I am pleased to see so many Italian food products at this fair, which aims to raise awareness about authentic Italian products made in Italy to the people in Malaysia,” said H.E. Massimo Rustico.

Italian trade commissioner Dr Filippo Fusaro added that this is the most diverse Italian food fair by ITA, bringing a taste of authentic Italy to Malaysians.

“The partnership with the ITA , focuses on the authenticity and unique traits that make our Italian food and wine products stand out. That goes for our current selection of over 600 products, plus new ones still to come which will complete the wealth, diversity, and quality of Italian products offered in the country promoting the partnership.

“Italian cuisine is loved by people worldwide not only because of the taste, but also the health benefits. This is because our cuisine encompasses the Mediterranean diet.

With fresh Italian produce and products available at this fair, Malaysians can learn to cook at home Italian dishes which are simple, tasty, and healthy,” he said.

Also present at the event were TFP Group Executive Director, Ivan Tan and TFP Chief Executive Officer, Geoff King.

We also believe that this fair takes place at the right time to educate consumers about the health benefits of Italian food. When the pandemic happened, it gave many people reasons to have a more healthy lifestyle. That’s why eating healthy and maintaining a healthy diet, like the Italian-Mediterranean diet, should stay at the forefront of our mind,” said Geoff King, CEO of The Food Purveyor.
