Transparency & Integrity: Our Affiliate Disclosure
At Gustoli, our commitment to the “Luxe & Cinematic” lifestyle goes hand in hand with total transparency. We believe that trust is the most essential ingredient in any culinary relationship. To maintain the high standards of our Roman studio and our deep-dive research into Mediterranean longevity, we participate in various affiliate marketing programs.
What this means for you: When you click on certain links within our recipes or equipment guides and make a purchase, Gustoli may earn a small commission. This happens at absolutely no additional cost to you. These commissions help us fund our professional photography, maintain our ad-free technical environment, and continue our mission of bringing authentic Italian heritage to your kitchen.
Our Selection Process: We take our role as culinary experts seriously. Alessia Valentini and the Gustoli team only recommend products, artisanal ingredients, or kitchen tools that we have personally tested or used in our own professional workflows. Our editorial integrity is never for sale; a commission will never influence our opinion on the quality of a DOP olive oil or a high-end pasta maker.
Standards of Curation & Third-Party Disclosure: In our pursuit of “The Italian Craft,” we hold our partners to the same rigorous standards we apply in our Roman studio.
Gustoli is a participant in several associate programs, including the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising initiative designed to provide a means for premium sites to earn advertising fees by linking to high-quality kitchenware and specialized Mediterranean ingredients.
It is important to note that our editorial team, led by Alessia Valentini, operates with complete independence. We do not accept free products in exchange for positive reviews. Every “Luxe” recommendation you see on this platform—from professional-grade copper pots to artisanal cold-pressed oils—is selected based on its performance, durability, and alignment with our “Blue Zone” longevity philosophy. We prioritize quality over quantity, meaning we reject more partnerships than we accept to ensure your culinary results remain elite.
Your Support: By using our affiliate links, you are directly supporting the preservation of traditional Italian culinary arts. We are incredibly grateful for your trust and for being part of the Gustoli community. If you have any questions regarding our partnerships, please feel free to contact us at contact@gustoli.com.
