ITA0039 by Asacert is celebrating the eighth Week of Italian Cuisine in the World. The main theme of this year’s event is: “At the table with Italian cuisine: well-being with taste.”
Italy has a different connection with food than other countries; it is also the nation richest in biodiversity and a guarantee of well-being. ITA0039 -the first protocol in the world to be created by a certification body to safeguard the true Made in Italy in Italian catering abroad- has always protected the values of well-being and taste, as ingredients of Italian cuisine, for the health of people and with an eye to the protection of the Planet. All elements that are, since the beginning, in the development of the ITA0039 Project and the free App, through which every consumer can check if there are Italian or tarred products in his shopping cart. The certification protocol, conceived in 2019 by Asacert – which has been joined by important partners such as Coldiretti and Euro-Toques – is present in more and more restaurants, from the United States to Australia, from China to the United Arab Emirates, from Crete to Malta, from Great Britain to Germany.
