I spent 3 weeks in Tuscany last summer for holidays and I fell in love with lots of local products (people and beautiful places too). Unfortunately, I couldn't take these products in my suitcase....😥... See more

I don't know because I have still not received my product. They used FedEx to deliver and by past experience that cheese may be WELL aged by the time I get it or if I get it.

Strange behaviour

Purchased a voucher which I wanted to give as a gift on the same day. Voucher was not sent/received. Upon inquiry the next day was provided a code. Thought okay, give it a try anyway, tried to order a few tuscan specialities. Code did not work. Decided to cancel the voucher purchase. The cancellation has been ignored since. Still waiting for reimbursement. Continue to receive purchase confirmations and satisfaction survey. Strange behaviour. True customer service looks different.
Comment on the answer: I have used always one and the same address. Anyway, the review has reached it's goal, the cancellation was now acknowledged and executed. It's a pity that it was necessary.

Dear Tesse,

The code you received did not work because you tried to use it with a different email from the one that was linked to theo giftcard. After your email we changed the settings allowing your new email to use the code.
We're truly sorry that this experience was not perfect for you, we iddued the refund with the same payment method you used on our website.

The quality of the goods is outstanding…

The quality of the goods is outstanding and very unique. I appreciate all their engagement on the slow food side. I have ordered already 3 times and each time i find something new to taste. Looking forward to see how they will further expand their product portfolio

Care for customers!

Well, I have ordered several times at Passione Toscana and always every perfect arranged and amazing cheeses. 5 stars all the way.
But my last order was ruined by the shipment, the box was opened and cheeses where missing, it happened somewhere down the line.
Contacted Passione Toscana and they solved it perfectly. This is really having a heart for there customers. And thank them deeply for that.
So, I'm rating them for 6 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Irresponsible customer service and extra costs for a faulty product

I had a very disappointing experience with this reseller. After receiving a bottle of olive oil with a cracked pour spout, which compromised the airtight seal and thus damaged the product, I reached out for a replacement. Their response was both frustrating and unprofessional. They claimed that since they are just a reseller, they are 'not responsible for products failing unless it's due to shipping,' shifting all the blame onto the manufacturer. While they 'extraordinarily asked the producer to solve the issue,' the solution offered was baffling – they would send me an empty box of olive oil, but only if I placed a new order or paid for the shipping costs.

It’s outrageous that, as a customer, I would have to pay extra shipping for something that was clearly a fault in the product itself. As a reseller, they should take responsibility for the quality of the products they sell, instead of pushing it back on the customer. I expected much better service and certainly not to be hit with additional costs for something that wasn’t my fault.

Reaction to your response. We did not have enough containers for 5 liter of olive. We had to buy these containers. And you did not respond to our last email:

Thank you for your response. While I appreciate the offer, I don't think it's worth paying the shipping costs for this. It would be more economical to buy a container myself.
Additionally, I do have concerns about the way responsibility is being handled here. While I understand you are a reseller, that doesn't necessarily absolve you of responsibility for the products you sell. As a reseller, you're part of the supply chain, and customers generally expect resellers to provide support in case of product issues, not just shipping problems.

Since this is not a problem that i am responsible for, the costs for resolving it shouldn't be for me.

First, we are sorry if you perceived your experience this way. we did everything to accommodate you and solve a problem not caused by us.
If the product had arrived broken, as you keep implying, there would have been an oil leak in transit--but that was not the case.

In our experience, as we told you, surely the breakage of the oil can cap occurred while you were trying to open it... was not faulty.

We offered you some solutions, reminding that we are not the manufacturers and that we do not have empty cans to send her to fix immediately... and that we could have send a can for free if you were willing to pay for the shipping or with a new order (is that outrageous???)
Lastly, we suggested you to easily move the oil into plastic or glass bottles or other containers with the ability to close... but you did not even respond to our email.

We hope at least the oil is to your liking.

Less weight than ordered but the same price

Ordered and payed for 2× Guanciale with a total weight of 1000g. Recieved only ~720g. They didn't send me a refund until I reached out to them.
If you can't ensure the package weight, you have to invoice after dispatch.

Hello GK, how did we know the Guanciale you received had a weight mistake? We work with artisanal products and sometimes receiving products with more or less 50gr in weight is possible as stated on the website. In your case, the difference was more than that and we started the refund process right away.

Great products and fast delivery

Ordering was easy, delivery of the products went fast, even if it was international.
Received products were packed accordingly and are of high quality
