We gladly attended the International Taste Institute – Italy Meeting 2023, where we shared our reality on stage, as a model of entrepreneurship and quality for bakery products. It was an enriching opportunity to meet up and discuss with many companies in the food sector, characterized by the love for Made in Italy on the international stage.

Thanks to this moment of thoughtful understanding of the demanding International Taste Institute methodologies and its international jury – composed of over 200 chefs and sommeliers recognized by institutions such as Le Guide Michelin and Gault&Millau – we have appreciated even more the value of the Superior Taste awards obtained by this prestigious Institution over these years.

We received with profound pride the “Industria Felix” award, an important national acknowledgment

which rewards the most competitive and reliable companies across Italy, standing out for managerial performance, financial reliability and economic development.

For us, being awarded represents a truly important milestone, symbol of commitment, determination and transparency which are the ingredients of our daily work to contribute to healthy, productive and virtuous Italian entrepreneurship.

The humanitarian crisis ignited by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine cannot leave us unsympathetic and everyone can lend a hand.

Dolciaria Acquaviva, always close to the People, has made its small contribution to help the Ukrainian population fleeing the war, gathering a fund for basic needs. We sincerely thank all the colleagues who, with great unselfishness and humanity, donated their working hours to help those in need.

The funds raised were donated to @CroceRossaItaliana, which is carrying out a precious aid to the affected populations who lack the most essential goods, such as water, food, clothing and health care. We thank the tireless work of the Croce Rossa Italiana. To date, 23 international operations have been carried out: a continuous humanitarian bridge that can be achieved with the contribution of each one of us.
