Experience in the wine industry
is a plus but not required, passion for fine wine is.
Affilates
OMNIPAK IMPORT ENTERPRISES, INC., was founded
in 1989. The focus was and
is to import great and unique Italian foods and equipment.
We started
with LURISIA natural spring water from Cuneo in the Piedmont
Alps, then
came ESSSE CAFFE' espresso coffee from Bologna (Emilia-Romagna).
With
espresso came the need for specialized equipment so we went
with the
most prestigious, beautiful and reliable brand on the market
today,
FAEMA.
CAFFE' TUCANO "the espresso source" E-Store devoted
to espresso & much more.

LURISIA
The spring "Fonte Santa Barbara Di Lurisia" is located
at the base of the n Western Alps in the Italian Region of
Piemonte. Discovered in 1917, it was first analyzed and approved
by M.me Curie, Nobel Prize winner for physics and chemistry.
The intrinsic characteristics of this very light spring water
have been enjoyed in Europe for many years, and since 1989
Lurisia has also been available in the United States. Since
its discovery, Lurisia has been
exclusively bottled at its source, never purified, filtered
or treated in any way.
