MISSION:

Emilia Food Love is the platform connecting 65,000+ certified Italian artisan food producers with American consumers, bypassing the legacy import chain that has locked authentic Italian food out of the US market for a century. Through our proprietary 4Export technology, FDA compliance, customs clearance, and 72-hour Italy-to-door logistics, we deliver authentic DOP/IGP products directly from producers to US homes.

TARGET:

US consumers seeking authentic Italian food (33,000+ paying customers, 52% repeat rate, 4.8★ on TrustPilot with 6,900+ reviews). Through Artigiano Diretto, our B2B marketplace, we also serve Italian artisan producers, DOP/IGP-certified makers seeking direct access to the US market without the legacy export chain.

EMILIA FOOD LOVE: from Italian artisans to US homes

EMILIA FOOD LOVE: from Italian artisans to US homes

Emilia Food Love brings authentic Italian artisan food directly into American homes, in just 72 hours from the producer. Behind the brand runs a proprietary technology platform, 4Export, that automates FDA compliance, US Harmonized Tariff classification, anti-dumping duty management, and international logistics. A dual-entity Italy–US structure optimizes the tariff position; an end-to-end integration with customs brokers and carriers guarantees 72-hour delivery to any US doorstep. Built on the same infrastructure, Artigiano Diretto is the B2B self-service marketplace that opens the platform to all 65,000+ DOP/IGP-certified Italian artisan producers currently locked out of the US market. Validated by 33,000+ US customers, $3M in bootstrapped revenue, a 49% repeat rate, and 4.8★ on 6,900+ TrustPilot reviews. Proof that authentic Italian food has finally found its way to America.
