Il pesto genovese patrimonio Unesco? Grande momento per la gastronomia ligure. A pochi giorni dalla conferma dell’ingresso della focaccia di Recco con formaggio tra le specialità ad Indicazione Geografica Protetta (IGP) riconosciute dall’Unione Europea, arriva infatti la notizia che un’altra delle prelibatezze della stessa regione, il pesto genovese al mortaio, punta ancora più in alto. Questo classico condimento per primi piatti, che dalla Liguria è andato alla conquista delle tavole di tutta Italia per divenire un tesoro gastronomico nazionale, si candida infatti ad entrare nel Patrimonio Culturale Immateriale dell’Umanità dell’Unesco.

Mario Batali suggests Le Marche

Mario Batali suggests Le Marche | Good Things From Italy - Le Cose Buone d'Italia | Scoop.it

Le Marche is an excellent culinary example of cross-pollination. Rich pasta dishes such as Vincigrassi, a kind of lasagne made with chicken liver ragù and black truffles; and another dish called Passatelli. Potacchio, a spicy stew of rabbit or lamb (or even monkfish), or the simple charcoal-grilled meats that appear on every trattoria menu. Soft salami made in Fabriano, the excellent dried pasta made

As in all of the Italian penninsula, the more local you eat, the more art you can find. Here in Le Marche, the cuisine is quite different in the micro-regional sense, particularly between the more experimental and modern touches apparent in the coastal cuisine versus the neoclassical cooking of the interior Apennines. My “faves” start on the southern coast, where several towns house nearly all of the great restaurants.[...]

Exploring Italian Sparkling Wine: Franciacorta - Vino in Love

Exploring Italian Sparkling Wine: Franciacorta - Vino in Love | Good Things From Italy - Le Cose Buone d'Italia | Scoop.it

Franciacorta is a sparkling wine from Lombardy, Italy. Just like Trento DOC, Franciacorta is the Italian equivalent of French Champagne. The appellation Franciacorta was awarded DOCG status in 1995 and is exclusive to sparkling wines. Still wines (white, red and rosé) are labeled Curtefranca DOC instead.

The name Franciacorta literally translates to “Little France” however, the name actually derives from the Latin words curtes francae meaning the Courts of the Franks. The Frankish Empire, a Germanic People, once watched over the hills of the Franciacorta Valley.

Risotto Primavera - Springtime Risotto: lovely seasonal vegetables in a dish

Risotto Primavera - Springtime Risotto: lovely seasonal vegetables in a dish | Good Things From Italy - Le Cose Buone d'Italia | Scoop.it

Well, Spring is finally here! All those lovely seasonal vegetables that are just beginning to arrive in the markets, the kind that Italians call primizie—asparagus, baby artichokes, fresh peas in their pods—are beginning to make their appearance in the local markets. There are so many ways to enjoy these vegetables, but one of the loveliest is to mix them all up in a risotto called, appropriately enough, risotto primavera, or Springtime Risotto.

The choice of vegetables is up to you. Use what you find most appealing in the market, but I'd say that asparagus (just the tips) and peas are pretty much a must...

Ingredients (serves 4-6)

For the flavor base:
1 medium onion or 1 shallot, chopped
1 stalk of celery, chopped
500-750g (1 to 1-1/2 lbs) mixed Spring vegetables, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces (see Notes)
A large dab of butter (or a mixture of butter and oil)
Salt and pepper

300g (10 oz) rice for risotto (see Notes)
A splash of white wine
1 liter (1 qt) of broth (or more if needed), preferably homemade chicken, veal or vegetable broth

For the mantecatura:
A handful of fresh parsley and/or basil, finely chopped
100g (3-4 oz) grated Parmesan cheese

Salumificio di Genga: quality cured meats Le Marche

Salumificio di Genga: quality cured meats Le Marche | Good Things From Italy - Le Cose Buone d'Italia | Scoop.it

The Salumificio di Genga is located in the heart of the Marches, inserted in the Park Gola Rossa, rare beautiful landscape that includes the presence of an extraordinary natural wonder what are the Frasassi. E 'already a reality since the early 70s, was born in a peasant, where breeding and processing products were one. Still this union has been maintained in the conviction that it is the best foundation for a quality product. Over the years it has been firm willingness to jealously preserve tradition and quality, seeking origins in the recipes in order to preserve the aromas and flavors of the past.
The pig is the guiding thread of the inland Marches gastronomy and its history is tied to that of the share-cropping families; it was reared with acorns and mash and the butchering would take place during the winter when the food produced by the other agricultural activities was becoming scarce and the low temperatures permitted the processing and the preservation of the pork meats.The Salumificio di Genga produces different ranges of cured meats that satisfy wide ranging tastes throughout Italy, from cured meats traditionally made in the Marche area to traditional Italian cured meats and hams.

As one of the world’s most loved cuisines it might be a surprise to learn that a true Italian cuisine hardly exists. The truth is, Italian food is still largely considered by regions with each region in Italy creating its own unique cuisine based on its history, people and geography. Each region, and then province and city, adds its treasure to the national identity of Italian food, but the best option is to eat the local plates in every region – here are some of our favorites!

A typical meal prepared in Abruzzi will feature diavolicchio, a combination of olive oil, tomatoes and chili peppers. Chili peppers are used often to spice up recipes, typical for much of Southern Italy. Rosemary, garlic and wine are also used extensively in Abruzzi cooking.

The Culture and Brief History of Coffee in Italy

The Culture and Brief History of Coffee in Italy | Good Things From Italy - Le Cose Buone d'Italia | Scoop.it

Some argue that the Enlightenment took place in eighteenth-century Europe because, simply, that's when coffee houses first opened. What does that make the Enlightenment? Just one major caffeine buzz. It's true, Italians love their coffee and have so ever since the coffee bean first arrived at the ports in Venezia, brought from the Islamic world in the sixteenth century. They have it first thing in the morning, typically espresso or cappuccino; have it after lunch; perhaps a quick shot during the work day; then one after dinner before taking the ritual "passeggiata," or stroll, through the city center. Every household has the famous "macchinetta," seen below, an easy-to-use stove-top percolator made of aluminum and first built in 1933 by Bialetti that, when properly used, produces a delicious espresso at any time. No matter the occasion, coffee must be done right in Italy. It's an art, and there's no kidding around about the perfect espresso: rich, creamy, perfectly balanced from start to finish, not one coffee ground burned by the scorching hot, high-pressure water that passed over it.

Exploring Italian Whites: Lugana & 2012 Pratello - Terre Bianche - Lugana DOC - Vino in Love

Exploring Italian Whites: Lugana & 2012 Pratello - Terre Bianche - Lugana DOC - Vino in Love | Good Things From Italy - Le Cose Buone d'Italia | Scoop.it

Exploring Italian Whites: Lugana

Today we are going to talk about Lugana. Lugana is one of Italy’s oldest appellation for white (and sparkling) wine. The wine is produced predominately with 100% Trebbiano but up to 10% of other white grapes are permitted, as well. Over the last few years, Lugana has become increasingly popular. The production center for Lugana is centered around the town of Sirmione, which is located at the southern edge of Lake Garda. The area benefits from the fertile Po Valley. The Po is Italy’s longest river with a length of over 650km.

 

 

Furthermore, the Lugana benefits from Lake Garda’s mild climate. It is worth knowing, that Lake Garda is the northernmost area where olive trees can still be planted. On July 21st 1967, Lugana was awarded DOC status, making it the very first DOC-wine from the Lombardy/Lombardia region.

 

Nearby appellations include Garda DOC, Bardolino DOC and Bianco di Custoza DOC.

 

Lugana is usually a crisp, dry, fruity white wine. It is especially popular during spring and summer. There are four types of Lugana: Lugana DOC (the standard version that is best served very cold at around 6° C), Lugana DOC Superiore (higher alcohol and at least one year of aging that is best served at around 12°C-14°C), Lugana DOC Spumante (sparkling wine) and Lugana DOC Vendemmia Tardiva (late harvest). Please note the different suggested serving temperatures between the varieties of Lugana (temperatures taken from the Association of Lugana wineries).

For many decades, Lugana has been unknown outside of Italy. Mostly because Veronese Pinot Grigio was mass-produced and exported on a large scale. The wine is also ideal for preparing Veneto Spritz, an Italian aperitif.

La Campofilone - Fili di Chitarra Egg Pasta

La Campofilone - Fili di Chitarra Egg Pasta | Good Things From Italy - Le Cose Buone d'Italia | Scoop.it
La Campofilone is committed to the wellbeing of animals and for careful production process, based on respect for tradition and the constant search for excellence. The grain used to make the semolina at Campofilone comes only from the province where they have been located since 1912, le Marche, in the central eastern Italy on the coast of the Adriatic Sea. The way the semolina is produced is key to understanding the quality of this pasta. Only the middle of the grain, the heart, is extracted, which gives it an enviable resistance to cooking and mostly prevents (thanks to its high granulometric value) the pasta from sticking together. Another determinant factor in its quality is the long drying process, which can be up to 36 hours and which helps ensure lighter digestion. And at the same time, it preserves the natural aromas of fresh eggs and semolina that most pasta is missing these days. Campofilone uses 33.4% fresh eggs for every 100 grams of pasta – eggs with the Good Egg 2009 Award which certifies that they come from free-range hens, only fed fine non-genetically modified grains. In short, pasta in its purest state, with smells and colors that take you to deepest, most authentic Italy.
