WHO ARE WE?
We have an experience of more than 15 years in the food sector working inside of some main international companies. Therefore we fully understand the way of working in this very challenging sector.
We feel proud to collaborate with carefully-selected Italian food suppliers whom we are supporting in their internationalization process.
We are also very proud about our long-term relationship with Retail and Horeca customers in various export markets.
Our mission is to bring delicious Italian food and wine products everywhere around the world.
The variety of Italian cuisine is truly limitless. It is impossible, even for a local, to say which is the best Italian food. This huge choice of dishes is due both to the great difference between the traditional cuisines of the different regions and to the seasonal influences. In this vast universe of wonderful gastronomic specialties, we select the ones that fit best with the local customers' needs.
Food-Passion was created by Marina Warras after fifteen years of experience in the food industry.
Marina's personal goal is to bring delicious Italian food and beverage specialties to her home countries - Finland and Belgium - and everywhere else around the world.
Marina was born in Helsinki, lived during 30 years in Belgium, and moved to Italy in 2015. She first lived in Milan, and moved to Trentino in 2020 with her family in order to live closer to nature.
Managing different cultures and different languages is part of Marina's everyday life. She speaks fluently Finnish, French, English, Italian, and Dutch.
The 3 pillars of Italian economy are the 3F: Fashion, Food and Furniture. Marina realized that she could combine her passion for delicious Italian food with her previous experience in that field and her willingness to launch her own activity. That is how Food-Passion was born.
Previously, Marina worked for consumer goods companies moving upwards in the organizations in various marketing & sales management roles (Nestlé, L'Oréal, AB-Inbev, Leonidas). She holds a Master's degree in International Business Management and a Master's in Marketing from prestigious Belgian Business Schools.
