What a wonderful time we had at Summer Fancy Food Show in NY where we had the chance to meet also Francesco Lollobrigida, the Italian Minister for Agricolture, Food Sovereignty and Forests, who wished good luck to the Italian exbihitors.
This event attracts around 20,000 to 30,000 visitors every year, including producers, buyers, distributors and… Oscar winners!
The popular actress Whoopi Goldberg visited Premiati Oleifici Barbera’s booth and was thrilled to learn about the Olià project and its commitment to gender inclusion.
Furthermore, the Specialty Food Association has just awarded Barbera “Natura Viva” – a gorgeous extra virgin olive oil produced from 100% Nocellara Etnea olives which grow on the slopes of the volcano – with the 2023 SOFI Award GOLD medal for the best extra virgin olive oil!
