The new trends of Italian food in 2020

Food trends are changing the way we eat. Get to know the food trends in 2020 that will revolutionise the food industry.

Italian know-how: Flawless and exemplary quality products from Italian tradition and heritage. Focus on historic and long-established production processes, exclusive machineries, long maturing and ageing techniques.

Vegan and plant based: Growing trend, natural source of vegetal proteins, low or carbs free without sacrificing the Italian taste and also embracing the Italian tradition with vegan variations of popular food products.

Without and free-from: Without preservatives, without parabens, without antibiotics, allergen free, GMO free, gluten free, lactose free, sodium free/low in, fat free/low in.

Bio-Organic: Settled trend, innovation in this field is possible by matching high-quality Italian products with PDO/PGI quality certifications too with the Bio/Organic standards.

Innovation in packaging shows how Italian producers are paying more attention to sustainability and convenience. There is a particular attention to compostable and plastic-free packs. The presence of a few simple ingredients reflects the natural healthiness of traditional Italian recipes. The Italian food industry is leading in new consumer trends. If pasta is part of a staple diet, the “premium” quality dominates its category. Tomato remains the product of reference for sauces and preserves.
