The Nebrodi Black Pig is an autochthonous Sicilian breed that has always been devoted to free range breeding, as well as a Slow Food Presidium, with autonomous feeding without almost never the need for food integration by the farmer. Until a few years ago it was a species in gradual decline in favor of more common pigs, easier to breed and endowed with an higher quantitative yield, but today, however, breeders, producers and processors of Nero dei Nebrodi are increasing. The Prosciutto di Suino Nero dei Nebrodi (Black Nebrodi Pork Ham) in the photo is an excellent example of traditional pork butchery product, made by Ponte due Archi, a very high quality product with an intense flavour and particularly enveloping fat and delicate taste.

Among the main measures are: the limitation of the production crosses with the consequent institution of a genetic database in order to guarantee the effective truthfulness of the genetic characteristic of the pigs admitted to the PDO, the more strict nourishment rules through an high use of noble cereals, the minimum aging extended to 400 days and the lowering of the salt content.

We often forget how much important is the choice of a good sea salt, the reason is very simple. Indeed it is one of the food we eat every day and, contrary to the tendency to the demonization of this product, that if eaten in the correct quantities contains very important nutrients. We of OIP propose you a raw sea salt Thin Raw Sea Salt Picked by shoulder - Cuordisale - Salinagrande, extracted naturally, picked by hand by the only producers of the Trapani Salina, a natural surfacing plant which dates back to the 11th century. Further contributing to the quality od the raw sea salt of Salinagrande in Trapani is the fact that the area of surfacing is a Natural Protected Sea Area, as a consequence it come in contact with less polluting substances.

First of all concerning fruits and vegetables, therefore the chestnuts moment has come, and a roasted chestnuts just took away from the fire is one of Autumn cult images. Obviously Italian chestnuts are very versatile for recipes too, the chestnut flour pasta is rustic and endowed with an alternative taste, great for the stuffings, on a bread slice or in a cake.

Bread, if cooked following few and good practices of bread-making, is one of the most satisfying food in all its simplicity. It is fundamental for leavening to take the necessary time for being completed (and not creating a sensation of bloating), in this case it is suggested the starter, which makes the bread more easy to digest due to the activation od enzymatic processes that favorite a pre-digestion. The attention should be focused on the choice of the raw materials too, therefore flour first. Our suggestion is using not to refined flours, obtained through stone milling , a process that, differently for the industrial milling made using mechanic steel rolls, maintains the temperature constant preserving the vitamins and mineral salts content. The ancient wheat flours as Tumminia, Maiorca e Perciasacchi made by our trusted Sicilian producers AdamoBio and Azienda Agricola La Fastuchera guarantee the stone milling and they’re ideal for a rustic bread with a great aromatic structure.

The products that can boasts the slow food presidium are few, in this limited list you can find the Pesca di Leonforte (Leonforte yellow Peach). The characteristic that distinguishes this variety from the other is very unusual: before the maturation the farmers close each peach in a paper bag, a long, hard and expensive process but it make sure the natural protection from parasites and a tasty fuit. Agrirape, Sicilian agricultural company, starts right from the Pesca Gialla di Leonforte for its Leonforte yellow peaches jam - Agrirape Copparella jam, so the result could be nothing but great. 80% of fruit, brown sugar and lemon juice are the only ingredients of the Agrirape jams, a simplicity that is possible only due to the absolute quality of the fruit and the slow processing, but repay the patient with a genuine taste.

The particular geological composition is what defines the uniqueness of the Liguria territory. The marked contest between coast and mountains not only creates suggestive landscapes but unrepeatable opportunities concerning the wine and food production. Pasta Liguria benefits exactly from these natural characteristics to propose high quality products endowed with a strong territory connotation. Starting from water, whose importance is often underrated in pasta production but is actually fundamental, which comes from the spring of the Natural Park of Antola, with a protected area of more than 4000 hectares and so able to offer pure and uncontaminated spring water. Only Italian durum wheat, slow drying, bronze wire drawing (that is to say the key elements of a craft pasta), together with skills and territory knowledge give as a result typical high quality regional pasta (as the Trenette pasta di grano duro da agricoltura biologica - Pasta di Liguria), with which you can exalt at their best Ligurian recipes and many others!

Passionates of cooking, of authentic, high quality, healthy and ethically sustainable food certainly have already known and tasted Acquerello - Carnaroli Rice. A story that is born in the 15th century, from a simple hostel for pilgrims in Colombara, in the province of Vercelli, a territory that has always been located to rice cultivation. What really makes Acquerello rice unique? the main factors are three; the helix processing, a complex but low invasive method, that allows the perfect cleaning of the grain however preserving every grain integrity at the same time. The one year aging of this Italian rice in silos helps the stabilization of the starches, so that they don’t scatter during the cooking, helping the absorption of condiment too. Lastly, but fundamental, the reintegration of the rice gemma, that is to say the part endowed with the best nutrients, which is normally separated from the grain. Acquerello, due to many years of research, has found a method to reintegrate it, obtaining the taste of carnaroli rice combined with the nutritional value of raw rice.

During the last years red meat has been in the center of many debates, in some cases, we feel free to say, excessively stigmatized. Indeed as it is for every food it is enough to consume the right amount of it, focusing on the choice of high quality red meat, but how? A first step is selecting Made in Italy products, it’s not about patriotism, but simply because the base controls established by the Italian disciplinary are among the most strict of the world. Secondly it would be ideal know the origin, alimentation and treatments received by the animal. The last one is a service that Macelleria Mastra Alebardi has started to offer, giving the total traceability of the Fassona Piemontese meat, bred and butchered directly from the Macelleria Mastra Alebardi itself, From the classic Costata (Entrecôte) made from Fassona beef from Piedmont - Macelleria Mastra Alebardi, fiorentina and many other cuts for a tasty, healthy and controlled red meat.

Both of them have the power to evoke sensation, move, and at the same time so succeed in this task skills, study, knowledge and why not a certain natural predisposition are needed, Someone may not agree, but we believe that food is a means through which transmitting messages and feelings, and isn’t this the aim of art itself?

Homemade bread is something that, as other forms of art, is a channel for creativity, expressivity and enriches the knowledges. Moreover it gives us the certainty of eating an healthy product, which is fundamental thing when we talk about everyday food, differently from what normally happens in the most part of the bread, where the amount of yeast is too high, the flour used is too refined and sometimes chemical additives are present too. The first step for an high quality bread is the selection of the raw materials, flour first privileging the raw ones. We’ve invested our time and resources in the promotion of the ancient wheats, endowed with unique organoleptic and taste properties, as we’ve observed after many years of experiments with home made pizza and bread, and the result have been incredibly good. Using Tumminia, Russulidda Durum Wheat Semolina Sicilian biologic stone ground - Fastuchera Farm or Minorca ( Sicilian ancient durum wheat varieties), not only earning in aromatic richness and taste, but our body too will thank us, from the moment that lab analysis have revealed that flours like these bring many different benefits that go from the cardiovascular system ( thanks to lignin) to the ease to digest, moreover discouraging the rise of alimentary intolerances.

Environmental sustainability is an expression that is joining the virtuous companies vocabulary in the Italian food sector. Describing all the functional dynamics and processes to achieve a total eco-sustainability would require a wider deepening, so today we’re focusing on a single aspect, to define better what sometimes could appear a difficultly tangible concept in practical terms for consumers. We take as an example the agricultural sector, particularly the wheat production and that exceptional reality that Pastificio dei Campi is: when I first read about triennial rotation, i immediately had a flashback to the history class, when during the school lessons we used to study the cultivation methods and their evolution. The triennial rotation is a practice that has been abandoned due to the lower yield, but brought back by Pastificio dei Campi as the rotation give the ground a break, allowing its natural time to recover and come back offering high quality Pasta di Gragnano at rhythm perfectly synchronized with nature and its needs.
