TOrezzo, 22 December. (askanews) – Tradition, innovation, territory and good food. With Christmas just around the corner, the search for gourmet food products to put under the tree and then share with family and friends during the holiday season is growing. High-end food and wine is carving out a growing space among the preferences of Italians who increasingly appreciate original and excellent products, with refined and refined packaging, with authentic flavors, capable of combining tradition and innovation. And if you focus on quality, without exaggerating with quantity, your wallet won’t be affected either.
Gourmet Christmas gifts: the trend is growing
Chef Marco Stabile declared: “During the Christmas period, the most requested products are ragù which, in particular, are useful for the more traditional preparations of the holidays. During these Christmas days, people prefer not to spend time in the kitchen and, for this reason, they resort to prepared, but equally high-quality products.”
The shops of the historic centers, among gastronomy and quality wines
And so the historic shops in the historic centers are reinventing themselves by focusing everything on gourmandise and quality wines. A formula increasingly appreciated by consumers who make it one of the 2025 Christmas gift trends. But alongside semi-ready gourmet products, to be heated and served directly at the table, the undisputed protagonist of the holiday period is panettone, reinterpreted in a thousand ways, offering local or unusual ingredients, however, of quality.
In a complex historical moment for trade, in which many brands are in difficulty, high-end Italian food and wine products therefore represent an interesting and promising market, a fact also confirmed by the trend of purchases in view of Christmas.
