The 5 best selling Italian food products abroad by Bell Italia in the time of the coronavirus

In this article we point out the 5 Italian food products best sold by Bell Italia all over the world at the time of the coronavirus.

The lifestyle habits of all of us in the past few months have radically changed. The lockdown has forced millions of people to stay home, as a precaution, to avoid contracting or spreading the virus. We go out once a week for grocery shopping, we work from home; pizzerias and restaurants are closed or provide home delivery service. Children don’t go to school and take lessons online, spending much more time at home.. In short, the current emergency has changed our lifestyle, daily rhythms and, consequently, also eating habits. This happens today in Italy and in many Countries around the world: it is the times of the Covid-19 pandemic, which we all hope will end soon.

Food purchases of Italians in the time of the coronavirus

As regards food purchases, the preferences of Italian consumers are oriented towards packaged foods, preferably with a medium-long term. We make sure we have enough supplies available, both to leave the house as little as possible, and in the event (hopefully remote) that the virus forces us to a longer lockdown. Pasta, peeled tomatoes, tuna, canned meat are at the top of the food preferences of Italians in the days of the coronavirus. But also coffee (impossible to give up especially with closed bars), wine (a good bottle must never be missing!), And, the trend of the moment, flour and semolina to make homemade cakes and pizzas.

And abroad? In general, the situation is very similar also in other countries. Packaged foods are at the top of the shopping list of European families, who, especially in northern Europe, prefer to order online. The Covid-19 emergency has not curbed the desire to eat Italian in the world. Here at Bell Italia, demands from abroad for pasta, tomato sauce, tuna but also sweet and savory snacks, Italian waters and drinks, fresh products (cheeses and cured meats) have even increased. Even in these difficult times, in fact, we are guaranteeing our customers all over the world quick and impeccable deliveries, in addition to the great convenience that has always distinguished Bell Italia.

The 5 best selling Italian food products abroad by Bell Italia in the time of the coronavirus

Let’s see, in detail, which are the 5 Italian food products best sold abroad by Bell Italia in the time of the coronavirus. Here they are

1- Pasta

Pasta remains the most ordered product by our customers around the world. Undisputed symbol of ‘made in Italy’, nutritious and genuine, Italian pasta is in great demand, particularly in this period. As a consequence of the increase in demand, many producers have increased prices (or reduced discounts), complaining in turn about the rise in the cost of raw materials.

Bell Italia offers its customers a vast assortment of pasta. From the best known and most famous brands (Barilla, De Cecco) to local brands (Granoro, Divella, Riscossa), or niche brands. For several months we have been an export partner of Delverde and we guarantee our customers the opportunity to purchase the best Italian pasta at pre-coronavirus prices. Another brand that we recommend, and on which a super offer is available, is Reggia pasta. We are talking about a top quality product, made in Caserta, and which takes its name from the famous and beautiful Royal Palace. Pasta Reggia is well known abroad, and is present in several chains of foreign large-scale retail chains.

5- Italian espresso coffee

Drinking espresso is a healthy habit that we Italians do not give up even in the days of the coronavirus. Indeed, given the orders of Italian coffee that we are receiving from all over the world, we could say that the ritual of espresso coffee is now widespread even outside Dante’s birthplace! The credit goes undoubtedly to those who have contributed to spreading the culture of good Italian coffee everywhere. Brands such as Lavazza, Illy, Segafredo, Vergnano, Kimbo are icons of ‘made in Italy’, authentic symbols of goodness and quality recognized worldwide.
