The proposal of the day is Adamo Bio winery Sicilian white wines trilogy. As it is in the cinema field, in this case the wines produced by the wise Vincenzo Adamo are a different interpretation and evolution of the same subjects (the Sicilian organic white wines) in the same reference context, that is to say the territory ( in this case Alcamo area in the west of Sicily). This is the best way to catch all the properties and enologic shades of a territory, in reference both to the wine varieties and local origin denominations as the Grillo and the Alcamo DOC (Italy most ancient DOC), that the international wine varieties as it is in the case of the Sauvignon Costa dell’Ape. The approach in Adamo wines is towards the natural expression of the terroir and the vineyards, without building excessively the wines in the winery in their consistencies and aromas, through the organic certifies agricultures methods without treatments that could damage the ground and the marvelous Valle d’Alcamo.

From today until the end of the Easter period the Colombe Fiasconaro are available in the OIP catalogue. The peculiarity of Fiasconaro is bringing a concept normally associated to the wine world, that is to say the bond with the territory, in the baked products and pastry-making. The use of typical ingredients coming from the surrounding area of Sicily as Pistachio nuts, Oranges, Almonds and Modica Chocolate, makes the panettoni and colombe di pasqua Fiasconaro a true expression of their own land in a pastry-making key. The high quality of the ingredients together with the slow natural leavening process up to three days from starter, make the Fiasconaro Products an absolute high quality reference point in the craft pastry-making.

In the Isonzo (Eastern Part of Friuli Venezia Giulia) , a few kilometers from the border with Slovenia, since XIII Century the Castello di Spessa castle raises in all of its beauty, as a witness of the history of its own land. Despite the natural property changes occurred during the centuries one thing has never changed, that is to say the surrounding area vocation to the viticulture, which is still nowadays studded with vineyards and natural landscapes, making the estate (which also hosts ceremonies, events and so on) a reality isolated from the normal passing of time. In the Merlot Friuli Isonzo DOC - Castello di Spessa we have found a wine that traces this concept, a product that remains anchored to a timeless expression of its own land due to the meeting between the northern boreal winds and the warm clime coming from the near Adriatic Sea, with the Castello di Spessa wines following great quality lines. Friulian Merlot Balsamic, red fruit under spirit and licorice notes, coordinated by a full bodied structure, almost fortified but velvety at the right level not to result invasive, assisted at best by the aromatic bouquet.

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.

Agricultural Company Cobue: Not only Lugana among the wonderful vineyards on like of Garda. Yesterday we were lucky to visit the Agricultural Company Cobue, located in the southern area of Lake of Garda. The vineyards extend for 17 hectares, surrounding the wine cellar with a mangnificent panorama of the Lake. The wine cellar is modern and innovative, specifically dug under the ground level to maintain constant temperature and humidity in the most natural way all year long. What makes the company different is the choice to not produce only Lugana (as it happens in the 90% of the cases in the area), but make wines with other local traditional grape varieties, each one in the way that fit the best to the vine variety. We had the occasion to taste Monte Olivi San Martino della Battaglia 2015 - Cobue, a white wine 100% made up of historic Tuchi (former Tocai) grapes. Straw yellow color with golden shades, the main aromas are white flowers with a particular chamomile note; a the palate the freshness exalts the aromas which are find again in the mouth with a balance light almond final. Ideal pairing with appetizers, pasta dishes, risotto and fish main courses.

It is a common thought associating the nduja calabrese to an extremely strong and hot taste: this is absolutely wrong. If the nduja you’ve tried in the past had merely an hot connotation it is a sign of low quality, as the spiciness has to be balanced in order to exalt the other tastes and not being above them. The 'Nduja of black pig - Consorzio Nero di Calabria is without any doubts at an unattainable level for the others, the reasons are mainly two. The starting raw material comes from the Calabrian black pig, a local specie free range bred endowed with great taste and organoleptic properties. The meats of this pork variety give a softness both in taste and consistency, that is not possible to find in products derived from other porks meats. The other motivation is the perfect balance of spices and red hot chili pepper, which gives a pleasant hot note, exhaling the black pig natural taste without covering it. Perfect as an appetizer on toasted bread, in a pasta sauce to give it a sprint or on a pizza paired with some gorgonzola cheese.

Within our catalogue you will be able to find different kind of flours, from the most common varieties to the ones derived from ancient wheats. All of them rigorously Made in Italy all over the production processes: from the wheat cultivation without dangerous chemical fertilizers, to the stone milling. Why using Italian flour? The flour leader countries producers (Canada, Rumania), due to the lack of sun and warm needed for the most part of the year, are obliged to dry the wheat using the glyphosate, an herbicide that avoid the wheat to go bad within few days, but it surely hasn’t a good effect on health, so that it is under observation as a possible cancerous substance.

Italy is a nation in which water quality is very high, so, starting from the prerequisite that beer is 90% made by water, Italian beer starts form a great base. Historically the Italian territory hasn't been dedicated to production of beer, ad it has always been focused on the wine production. Cultivations as the barley, hops and yeasts production have never been developed, as a consequence almost all the producers import the raw materials from foreign countries. The OI project has the aim to realize a 100% Italian and artisanal beer. The beginning was very difficult, the supplier insisted that it would be impossible to cultivate an high quality barley but especially hops in Italy. But ,after 3 years of experiments and territory analysis, 3 hops and a barley (Spring Barley Prestige Variety) perfect for the production of an agricultural beer have been selected. The beer has been called OI because this acronym is the dialect word to indicate the Oglio river, in whose park the raw materials which give birth to this beer are cultivated; moreover Oi stands for Italian Barley (Orzo Italiano) and Italian Origin (Origine Italiana). The result is an harmonious, genuine and high quality beer. In order to make it as pure as possible and exalt its aromas it is nor filtered or pasteurized, its amber color that mends of the sunset will amaze your sight; it has a fragrant taste of toasted malt; It has a fresh and elegant taste, with a perfectly balanced bitter shade.
