Parmigiano Reggiano is often called the king of cheese and for good reason—it is delicious! Made only in certain regions of Italy, this hard and granular cheese goes through a long aging process that gives it a unique nutty flavor and brittle texture.
San Pellegrino’s sparkling water has become synonymous with the beverage itself—I often hear people say “I’ll have a San Pellegrino” instead of “I’ll have a sparkling water.” The water is sourced from the foothills of the Italian Alps, so you can expect it to have a crisp and refreshing taste.

Peroni is an Italian icon when it comes to beer. The lager has been brewed since 1846 in Villevano, Italy. It’s light and crisp flavor makes it the perfect accompaniment to traditional Italian cuisine or as a standalone drink.

Campari is an Italian aperitif that is known across the globe for its unique flavor and bright red color. Made from a secret blend of herbs and spices, this bitter liqueur was created in 1860 by Gaspare Campari. It’s often mixed into cocktails like negroni and spritz for added depth and complexity.

Italian cuisine is vast and rich, with flavors and traditions that have captivated people around the world.
