The Project - Philosophy
“Italian cuisine is a cuisine based on products; if the product is genuine, the quality of the dish can only be superior.”
The knowledge of ingredients and the ability to prepare these ingredients are inseparable.
Products are the key to good Italian cooking, the excellence of which is directly derived from the quality of those products and from the richness of the lands which created the flavors.
Inspite of its regional typicity, it is essential that our cuisine be presented to the world not as the sum of many regional cuisines, but as one great reality called “Italian Cuisine.”
