Caldarola "Eccellenze Italiane" was founded in 2011 from the vision of Emanuele Caldarola, following a distinguished managerial career in major Italian and international food groups. The mission was clear from the outset: to support Italian agri-food companies in unlocking their full potential across national and international markets through a tailored, results-driven consulting approach.

In 2015, the first structured project took shape with the foundation of Caldarola & Partners, focusing on the fresh food sector. In 2018, Talos was established to manage frozen products and complementary items. This created an integrated system that has evolved into a solid, dynamic and reliable organization, widely recognized for its strategic vision.

Our operations span the national territory, maintaining constant dialogue with industry leaders, large-scale retailers, organized distribution, and the HORECA channel. Today, we are entering a new phase of evolution: the expansion of our offices, the integration of new expertise within the team, and the acquisition of new clients and producers strengthen our identity as a more structured organization with an international outlook. The Caldarola brand is increasingly positioned as a strategic partner and business enabler, bridging Italian excellence with global markets.

We provide Italian companies with strategic support to grow in complex and highly competitive markets. Our work always begins with an in-depth analysis of the product, positioning, commercial potential, and business objectives. We don't sell promises — we build real opportunities.

We assist companies in developing sustainable commercial growth strategies, supporting them in defining distribution policies, segmenting sales channels, and identifying new markets both in Italy and abroad.

Our approach goes beyond the traditional concept of representation: we act as growth enablers, interpreters of market demands, and facilitators of entrepreneurial ambitions.

We possess deep knowledge of the agri-food sector. Years of experience have allowed us to build a solid network of relationships, develop a precise understanding of distribution dynamics, and cultivate a strategic vision that combines commercial, organizational, and business development skills.

We are known for our ability to offer ongoing, attentive service focused on shared growth. Our model is a hybrid of consultancy, operational support, and strategic commercial development.

What sets us apart is our problem-solving culture: we are accustomed to managing complex dynamics and delivering effective solutions, thanks to our direct knowledge of key stakeholders and the inner workings of the distribution ecosystem.

In recent years, Caldarola "Eccellenze Italiane" has established itself as one of the leading players in promoting Italian food production across both domestic and international markets.

Today, the company is evolving into a model increasingly oriented toward strategic business development, with a strong international focus.

Driving this transformation is the arrival of Luigi Caldarola, a young professional with an international academic background and a modern vision of the food industry. After earning a degree in Economics and Management from LUISS Guido Carli University and participating in an Erasmus program at the University of Galway in Ireland, he continued his studies with a Master of Science in International Food & Beverage Management from ESCP Business School — ranked No. 1 worldwide in the field (Eduniversal Ranking).

Graduating with a GPA of 3.90/4 and having completed numerous consulting projects in collaboration with leading food & beverage companies, Luigi brings to the company a global mindset, advanced strategic management skills, and a strong aptitude for building international relationships. He speaks fluent English, has studied Chinese, and is well-versed in global export scenarios.

His arrival marks a key turning point in leading the company toward new markets, new languages, and new synergies.

We believe in the value of long-term relationships, in the careful selection of the companies we work with, and in the attention we devote to every step of the commercial process.

We don't simply represent products — we craft coherent, competitive, and credible offerings by selecting reliable producers with consistent supply capacity, certified quality, and a clear industrial vision.

Before proposing a company, we thoroughly assess its organizational models, history, logistics capabilities, and financial strength. We enter every negotiation fully prepared, backed by up-to-date data and a reputation built on reliability.

To our clients, we offer complete and integrated solutions, with tailor-made product-service packages. Our staff maintains regular, hands-on contact with each client: the relationship is continuous, structured, and never superficial. It's a demanding approach — but one that has proven its worth over time and has become a hallmark of our identity.

In this context, a refined food and wine sensibility also comes into play, exemplified by the Sommelier diploma awarded to Catherina Del Vecchio by the Fondazione Italiana Sommelier, the most prestigious and authoritative institution in the field. A longstanding presence in the Caldarola journey, her achievement brings an additional layer of culture, expertise, and vision to our commitment to promoting Italian excellence.
