Italian retail leader Pam Panorama has achieved a significant milestone at the International PLMA Salute to Excellence Awards 2026, securing eight prestigious accolades. The company’s private label lines, Tesori dell’Arca and Calici Divini, were singled out by an international jury of experts for their exceptional quality, value, and commitment to consumer needs.
A Commitment to Quality and Excellence
In this year’s edition, the competition evaluated nearly 600 food and non-food products from 67 retailers across 27 countries. A rigorous two-day testing process—involving Master of Wine professionals, sommeliers, and retail experts—assessed concepts, flavor, aroma, and packaging innovation. The recognition confirms the efficacy of Pam Panorama’s strategic evolution, which increasingly focuses on bridging the gap between premium product identity and everyday affordability.
The Winning Selections
Among the highlighted products were the Tesori dell’Arca Organic Spelt Piadina, praised for its authentic rustic flavor, and the Cioccolato di Modica PGI, lauded for its intense cocoa notes and traditional craftsmanship. The selection also included high-quality Taggiasca olives, premium Nano Vialone Veronese PGI rice, and 100% Arabica espresso capsules. Additionally, the Calici dei Salici Chianti Classico DOCG 2022 earned top marks in both the “Best Quality” and “Best Value” categories.
“These awards represent a result of great value,” stated Gerardo Luca Sinesi, Private Label Manager at Pam Panorama. “They are the outcome of continuous development work on our private label lines, built alongside our production partners and driven by an unwavering focus on quality and consistency.”
A Proven Track Record
With this latest achievement, the Italian retailer continues a successful growth path that began in 2024. Over the past three years, its private label offerings have amassed a total of 14 awards, further bolstered by the 8 recent honors bestowed upon the Calici Divini wine collection. This consistent performance underscores the brand’s dedication to delivering distinctive, high-quality solutions that resonate with discerning international markets.
