Many Italians currently live in Germany and especially in its capital Berlin, one of the most important European cities. Many choose it every year as a study destination, especially in the context of the Erasmus project, but it is also increasingly popular to start a career or a business on their own. However, it is not always easy to find Italian products in Germany, especially in the food sector.
Italian products hard to find in Germany
Germany is certainly equipped with very good supermarket chains and at very good prices. Among the main ones we remember Edeka, mentioned by many as one of the best supermarkets in Germany. But many Italian products, such as the big Ferrero machi, Barilla or similar, can also be found at other chains such as Kaufland, Rewe and Real. Impossible then not to mention the mythical Lidl, which on average offers a higher offer than the Italian one.
Despite the variety of the German food offer, many Italians find it difficult to find home made products. Among the main products that are usually lacking in Italian in Germany, among the most cited we find:
- Caffes: What is normally missing if you ask an expat in Germany is the bar cappuccino or a well made espresso.
- Bread: Bread is great in Germany. The variety is exceptional and there are bakeries everywhere. The normally cited problem is that it preserves little or nothing
- Breakfast biscuits: finding good products to make a sweet and not continental breakfast is especially hard for those who, like us, grew by force of drips, millstones and peasants
