We are thrilled with the results of the 2021 Taste of Italy Virtual Trade Fair in Texas. And it wouldn’t have been possible without the support of everyone who tasted and attended virtual meetings. Similarly, it wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our partners.

Thanks also goes to the Italian General Consul in Houston who not only helped the IACC to mount the fair but also attended one of our virtual dinners where he spoke at length about Italian gastronomy as part of the country’s cultural heritage and economic engine.
