Is Emilia Food Love Worth It? Our Take

Short version: for DOP cheese and Italian pantry staples that are hard to source at home, yes, and the value improves sharply as the format gets bigger. Very small orders are the weakest buy.

The 24 month Parmigiano Reggiano DOP shows it best. When we checked on September 30, 2026, a 1 kg (2.2 lb) piece cost $91.90, about $42 a pound. A 2 kg piece was $154.90, about $35 a pound, and the 1/4 wheel of roughly 20 lb was $562.90, about $28 a pound. That is around a third less per pound than the 1 kg size, for a hard cheese that stores well. The Colline di Romagna DOP olive oil follows the same logic: the buy 3 get 1 free pack of four 500 ml bottles was $170.70, or about $42.70 a bottle instead of $56.90.

Worth it if: you cook Italian often, you can split a large piece of Parmigiano with family or friends, or you want producer-specific items such as DOP olive oil, balsamic vinegar and cured meats in a single shipment.

Think twice if: you need one jar for one recipe. Two jars of tomato passata ran $23.90, a gourmet price for a pantry basic, so the value here is in the specialty items and the larger formats.

One practical catch before checkout: orders ship from Italy by DHL Food Express by air, with delivery in roughly 72 working hours, and from March through September they only leave on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. An order confirmed on a Thursday waits until the following Monday, so order a few days earlier than you think you need to.
