Overview

COOKING COURSE AND CULTURAL EXPERIENCE

“Italia Gustosa” stems from the need to enable more and more people to learn not only about Italian art, fashion and culture, but also food. It aims to promote the foods that only Italian producers can work, transform and enhance, thus creating unique products. We have decided to provide these “experiences” because food can be told and shown in a thousand ways, and we want you to discover them all. “Italia Gustosa” is an experience for everyone, great chefs, cooking enthusiasts or simple lovers of good food.

The main feature of Italian cuisine is the simplicity of the many dishes made with a maximum of 4 to 8 ingredients. Italian chefs rely on the quality of these ingredients, rather than on the complexity of preparation. Dishes and recipes have often been created by grandmothers rather than chefs. Each region in Italy has its own recipes, so our “Italia Gustosa” takes shape in different regions.
Some of them have characteristic dishes that have become a point of reference worldwide. Certain products are so special that they have no fear of comparison with the rest of the world. “Italia Gustosa” is linked to the soul of every region and of all those who live this experience.
We will guide you through the history of Italian cuisine. We will let you discover the typical products and their processing. We will walk through the streets of the most beautiful Italian cities and the alleys of the most ancient villages. 
We will develop language, culture and cooking courses throughout the program period. We will take you to vineyards, pistachio groves, dairies and many other places.
