The next stop on our country tour takes us to a country that stands for enjoyment, tradition and joie de vivre: Italy! Here, everything revolves around culinary delights, quality and the shared experience of food. The market is more than just a place to shop - it is a social meeting place where people socialise and share their love of high-quality products.
Quality and regionality are essential: from olive oil to Parmesan cheese. Every meal tells a story and reflects the deep connection with one's own region.
A typical day in Italy begins rather simply: coffee and sweet pastries for breakfast. The main meals, on the other hand, are true moments of pleasure. They start with antipasti, followed by pasta classics such as spaghetti carbonara, a main course with meat or fish and a sweet or savoury finish - accompanied by espresso and digestivo.
This passion for enjoyment, quality and tradition also characterises the product range of PENNY Italy, the reliable purchasing partner since 1994. With 453 shops and around 5,250 employees, PENNY offers everything that defines Italian cuisine: fresh pasta, various types of mortadella, crusty bread - and of course the Italians' favourite products such as guanciale, balsamic vinegar, parmesan, olive oil and fine truffle products.
Our local colleagues provide exciting insights into Italian food culture and show how classics such as vitello tonnato, spaghetti carbonara and parmigiana di melanzane are prepared. They also reveal what is considered an absolute no-go in Italy: cappuccino after 11 o'clock or pineapple on pizza. Taking your time for dinner and being in a good mood, on the other hand, is an essential part of the Italian way of life.
