The Al Maya Supermarket store that Italianfood.net visited in Dubai is located in the city’s first suburbs. Here we find a wide selection of Italian brands in the assortment.
For example, on the tomato preserves shelf we find two top Italian brands: Pomì and Cirio. Pomì is present with two formats of tomato puree in brik. It has a higher price positioning than the local brand and a jar product. Cirio, on the other hand, enriches its offerings with its tomato paste. On the sauce shelf, the Saclà brand plays a key role with a wide range of pasta sauces and pestos for all tastes.
