FOOD ACCADEMIA, offering a wide range of Italian fine foods, wines and spirits to the travel retail trade, has significantly extended its agreement with DFS for its high-end Fondaco dei Tedeschi Venice downtown shopping mall.



Following an initial agreement in 2017 between Food Accademia and DFS to supply
three items to Fondaco:  32 Via dei Birrai Craft beer; Limoncello Russo and  Vincente Delicacies; this year has seen the portfolio significantly increased to support the growth of the ‘Italian Gourmet’ fine food area.

Food Accademia is now supplying Fondaco with a variety of typically Italian fine foods including
1.       Acquerello rice
2.       Zaini chocolate
3.       Sommariva creams
4.       Pastificio dei Campi pasta
5.       Colimena in-oil Tuna
6.       Dorotea biscuits
7.       Torrefazione Cannaregio coffee
8.       Torre Saracena tomato+basil sauce

Says Food Accademia Global Director Fabrizio Canal: “We’re delighted to say that all the products have been selling very well with reorders quickly coming through. Recently DFS ran a ‘From Venice with Love’ food festival that was also very successful for our various brands.

“The success at Fondaco is indicative of the opportunity and possibility for fine food in travel retail and we’re delighted to be working with DFS in this beautiful retail area. We carefully selected a range of the very best Italian products to demonstrate the variety and choice that is available and are most grateful to DFS for their support and belief in Food Accademia.”

Adds DFS Merchandising Director Cristina Brutto: "Fine Food is an important and growing area for DFS and works particularly well at Fonadaco del Tedeschi. Food Accademia offers an excellent portfolio of Italian products which fits perfectly with the quality offer that we are creating in Venice."
