”In 2025 we think the international markets demand will absorb more than 50% of the total Parmigiano Reggiano production, and the United States is the most important international market. In fact, made 100 the export volume, 23% is represented by the United States, with over 17,000 tons of Parmigiano Reggiano imported.”

5. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Nicola Bertinelli, president of the Parmigiano Reggiano consortium:
”Those who buy Parmesan cheese in the United States are buying it with high awareness about what they are buying. They want to definitively buy Parmesan cheese. Because if not they would have a 93% market alternative (as Parmesan represents just 7% of the hard seasons cheeses sold in the USA), at about 30% of the price.”

10. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Anna Rufolo, oil expert from CIA (Italian Farmers Confederation):
“The U.S. market is a very important market for Italian olive oil, I would add for European olive oil. The U.S. has grown in ten years as far as Italy is concerned, by 158% and so there is a lot of desire to consume Italian wine and food. And in particular olive oil weighs 32% (of the total food export). We are talking about a value of about 1 billion euros.”

13. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Anna Rufolo, oil expert from CIA (Italian Farmers Confederation):
“Certainly olive oil is a product very much attached to Italian identity, associated with health, well-being, and a lot of promotion has been done over the years to increase the knowledge on the benefits of olive oil in general and extra virgin oil in particular. So we are talking about a product that can not be easily replaced. It’s a product that hopefully Americans can’t do without.”

15. SOUNDBITE (English) Giovanni Orsina, head of political science department at LUISS university:
“What the Italian prime minister (Giorgia Meloni) says is that she is going to negotiate and try to use diplomacy to make tariffs as little impactful as possible, of course. And my idea is that in this moment it seems that Italy will try not to retaliate and try to find some form of agreement. But of course this is not only a two ways negotiation, there is also the European Union in the field. And it will also depend on how the European Union is going to react.”
