DUCA D'ITALIA: MANY HEARTS, ONE STORY

Once upon a time there was an Italian family named Ducali, whose ties to Italian cuisine were deep and ingrained for generations. Their family history was intertwined with the culinary history of Italy itself. Their passion for discovering and promoting high-class typical Italian products was a tradition that had been handed down from father to son for centuries.

It all began many years ago, when the patriarch of the family, Grandpa Bruno Ducali, an experienced chef and gastronomy enthusiast, decided to devote his life to seeking out the best Italian ingredients. He traveled the length and breadth of the various regions of Italy, exploring local markets, agritourisms and vineyards, in search of the most hidden culinary treasures. During his travels, he learned traditional techniques for making cheese, cured meats, olive oil and wine, and built a network of friendships with small local producers.

Bruno's son, Luca, inherited his father's passion for sourcing high-class products. After studying enology and gastronomy, Luca decided to start an Italian food import and distribution company. His mission was to share with the world the richness of Italian flavors and to promote small local producers.

Over the years, Luca's company grew steadily, and his son, Francesco, joined the company, bringing with him new ideas and skills in marketing. Luca realized that in order to best promote high-class typical Italian products, they needed to create an authentic and engaging story. So they decided to put an ambitious plan into action.

The Ducali family decided to create a brand that represented the authenticity and quality of Italian products. They founded an e-commerce pasta distribution , using only the productions of local farms. They began trading handmade pasta, according to traditional recipes from different Italian regions. Each type of pasta told the story of a different region.

To promote their products, the Ducali family expanded their Italian food offerings, ranging from sheep cheese to tomato sauce. 

As the years went by, the Ducali family achieved their goal of spreading their passion for high-class Italian products around the world. Their company became a success story, but more importantly, it was a tribute to their culinary heritage and their relentless pursuit of perfection in the art of Italian cuisine. Their story shows how powerful and enduring is the connection between a family and the food culture of their country.

This is our story, full of love for food and togetherness in the family. Over the years we have come to understand that success is achieved by maintaining high quality products and investing in the small local businesses that cherish all the traditions.
