ECCELLENZA DONO DI NATURA

Eccellenza dono di natura (Gift of the nature) is a brand created by Eskaton International, a company specialized in SME networks and internationalisation, whose main aim is the promotion and the commercialisation of made in Italy products all around the world.

The sectors interested are agribusiness, craftsmanship and tourism. Our society absorbs mainly the selection and the coordination of enterprises which adhere to this special “club of excellence”. The intent is to gather high quality companies which are presented under a common brand by a unique interlocutor for potential customers.

In addition, we have to remark the existence of a shared trade office which works in outsourcing. This office operates on behalf of all the participant enterprises and integrates itself with the activities conducted by the enterprises and the human resources presented in it. Furthermore, the trade office realises catalogues with our Eccellenza dono di natura brand, and they are provided to buyers, importers and tour-operators, being exhibited during fairs or manifestations being monthly updated with new references. Under request, these catalogues can be personalised with buyers, importers and tour-operators’ logos and can provide for a selection of products or services.

Soon, related to the trade office there will be a technological platform with a section dedicated to the e-commerce activity. The platform will be multilingual and will allow the management of the stock, the orders, the payments, the expeditions and there will be an advanced CRM software. If exclusive trade agreements are taken, e-commerce section dedicated to B2C will be available free with logos and references to the distributors.

Facebook page is www.facebook.com/Eccellenzadonodinatura. With the contribution of the participant, it represents an efficient tool to come directly into contact with potential customers and to present single activities.

Eskaton International founds its own activity with the idea of building a “network” between producers and commercial operators, all partners of a common aim of growth and development.

Thank you for the attention.

Kind regards.

ECCELLENZA DONO DI NATURAAZIENDE ECCELLENTI

Savor a journey through Sicily and its popular traditions.Sicilian recipes are the perfect blend of several cultures, whose presence has leftpeculiar marks on the region.

Sicilian Gastronomy"They eat as if they were to die and they build as if they were to live forever". That iswhat Diogene said talking about the Megaresi of Sicily.

The Routes of WineIf three is considered the perfect number, three are also the vertex in which Sicily isenclosed, but seven is the number of Creation... and the number of the wine routes inSicily.

Street Food and Ancient MarketsStreet food is the term used in order to refer to the typical barrows of Palermo, whereit is possible to try different traditional recipes. Those barrows are still present in thewhole city...

Sicilian traditional recipesWho has never tasted a real Sicilian recipe, or would like to remind the taste of pastawith sardines, sfincione or a cannolo. Here you will find the instructions to preparesicilian traditional dishes easily by following our recipes.


With its 1500 Km of coasts, including minor islands, Sicily provides different solutions forsummer holidays.

Beaches, seashores and cliffsSicilian coasts are made by never-ending, flat and sandy beaches, or small seashoresmade of pebbles and cliffs; every site is characterized by different color blends suchas: ochre, yellow, and grey, there are even beaches black lava colored.The biggest cities provide well equipped beaches that strongly appeal to tourists,among them we can remember: Mondello the main beach of Palermo,characterized by its palm-trees and white sand, in which relevant sport events takeplace. The Playa of Catania, the coast of San Leone, just outside Agrigento orFontane Bianche in Siracusa. Famous touristic sites or top beaches of minor islands arequite crowded during high season. These sites are known for the beauty of thin sand,that looks like talc powder, and for the blue colored sea that makes a perfect framefor a spectacular scenery.

The Tyrrhenian coasts are composed by astonishing beaches situated between Capod'Orlando and Patti (Messina), San Vito Lo Capo (Trapani), the small caves ofCastelluzzo and the natural reserve of the Zingaro, or long and beautiful beaches ofLetojanni and Fiume Freddo, the suggestive beach of Isola Bella close to Taormina.Last but not least the blue colored sea of Cefalù that, with its beaches made of sandand pebbles, leaves tourists breathless.

UNESCO FOR PEOPLESThe art, the landscapes, the traditions, the history of the Vibo Valentia area meet the Mediterranean Diet.A journey of emotions through smells, tastes, sounds, healthy lifestyle of our lands. In 1957 the American epidemiologist AncelKeys came with his medical-scientific team, in Nicotera, a small town on the Tyrrhenian coast of Calabria, which belongs to thatsection called "Coast of the Gods", to give the boot to studies, that would confirm his brilliant theory on the close relationshipbetween eating healthy and feel good.Keys called the Mediterranean Diet "food systems of the Mediterranean people," referring to an extremely ancient historywhich influenced all the peoples of this area; history of discoveries, civilizations, changes of languages and cultures, meetingand exchange of food and culinary traditions that, in their interaction, gave birth to a new knowledge.In November 2010 UNESCO has inscribed the Mediterranean diet in the list of intangible cultural heritage calling it a socialpractice based on skills, knowledge, customs and traditions concerning the landscape, the history, the cuisine, the cultivationof food, the fishing, the collection, storage, processing and consumption of food of the Mediterranean people. TheMediterranean diet is the only nutritional model in the world capable of expressing the lifestyle of a people and is thereforeculture and art in the same way of artworks and monuments.Cultural approach also means fairness in the food production, distribution and consumption, communication and defense ofcultural diversity. Means impress programming strategies, action, and research towards a new paradigm of the economy andsustainable development that is able to protect the social, cultural, educational benefit of current and future generations. Aterritory extraordinarily rich (which is that of Vibo Valentia), with many sites of archaeological, historical, architectural andartistic importance, It must be enhanced to foster and promote cultural tourism.This does not means only make accessible museums, archaeological areas, exhibitions, libraries, parks and naturalenvironment, but also qualify the network of primary services to encourage its proper use: information, communication,transport, tourist accommodation. Culture and tourism can be truly a winning combination, in view of a path of growthsustainable and lasting.A bridge between past and present, projected into the future, through the emotional experience. There are some strategicelements which should guide tour operators and public administrators in planning and designing activities that combinetourism and culture, especially where they come into consideration, as in our case, tangible or intangible, that have beenrecognized Heritage Humanity. Essential is the coordination of the responsibilities and functions to be carried out in a taskforce that can operate, in a unanimous and, in view of coordinated policies that are part of the same strategy of developmentof image, quality, range of products and services.In this context is very important the reorganization of the public system, in cooperation with the private sector, so to expressoptimally the attractiveness of our territory, enhancing their image, especially internationally, thanks the preparation of laborresources and qualified competent and successful marketing strategies. In this sense the Mediterranean diet, a World HeritageSite, becomes the driving force for sustainable development of our region.
