After a pause from the pandemic, the Italian Food Awards USA will showcase the most innovative products in the US market between 2020 and 2021 to a live audience at the Summer Fancy Food Show in New York City.
For the second consecutive time, Italy will be partner country of the Summer Fancy Food Show, which makes the event even more relevant. Visiting the Italian pavilion at the trade show is an incredible opportunity for show buyers to see firsthand the latest Italian products. The last Italian Food Awards USA took place in 2019.
During the award ceremony, Italianfood.net will present exclusive research on the American consumer through our partnership with BVA BDRC – the award-winning international consumer insight consultancy, conducting research in over 90 countries.
