Once again this year, ITA0039 by ASACERT is preparing to celebrate the best of Italian culinary tradition in Scotland by participating in the 11th Annual Scottish Italian Awards 2024, to be held on December 1 at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Glasgow. Following the success of previous editions, ITA0039 will return to the stage to honor the excellence of the best Italian restaurant with the coveted “ITA0039 AWARD.”
In addition to celebrating the quality and authenticity of Italian cuisine abroad, the award highlights the importance of Made in Italy agri-food products, a sector that is a fundamental pillar of the national economy. In 2023, Italian agrifood exports reached an all-time high of 64 billion euros, an increase of 6 percent over the previous year. This achievement demonstrates not only the high quality of Italian products, but also Italy’s crucial role as a global leader in PDO/PGI and organic specialties.
The ITA0039 AWARD winning restaurant will have the opportunity to access the entire ITA0039 certification process free of charge, becoming part of an exclusive network of Italian restaurants recognized and accredited by ASACERT. ITA0039 certification represents a seal of authenticity and quality, which is essential to combat the phenomenon of Italian Sounding, which threatens the integrity of Made in Italy on international markets. Through the certification, ASACERT guarantees not only the quality of the products, but also strengthens the link between producers, restaurateurs and consumers, thanks to the ITA0039 APP that allows consumers to verify the authenticity of the products purchased, enhancing the true Italian flavors certified.
In a global context that increasingly recognizes the value of Made in Italy, the Italian Awards and the ITA0039 award are key to supporting restaurateurs and producers who preserve the authenticity of Italian cuisine.
All that remains is to wait until December 1 to find out which restaurant will win this year’s ITA0039 AWARD, confirming its commitment to a true 100% Italian Taste experience and the promotion of Italian excellence around the world.
