- Ambrosoli: the characteristic jar of Ambrosoli honey, with history label on which the company logo stands out, stands out on some flowers in which a bee collects nectar; in the background two children run happily up a field.

- Cirio: a vintage poster of the Cirio company dating back to the 1920s, created by the Italian illustrator and painter Leonetto Cappiello.

- De Cecco: a gleaning machine, symbol of the agri-food company De Cecco, which has always characterized its products, stands out in the foreground on the certificate of the gold medal won at the Exhibition Chicago Universal in 1893. Below, on the left, there are the Italian and American flags, representative of the two countries where the product is more loved and known, and the logo is reproduced at the top of the company.

- Santa Rosa: the Santa Rosa company logo is set in the center of the iconic jar, from which, ideally, a whirlwind of fruit explodes.

- Vismara: a waiter serves some excellent dishes on a platter of Vismara-branded cured meats. The logo is reproduced at the top of the company.
