Gourmet Italian
Recipes
From
Thom's Recipe File
Gourmet Italia S.a.s. was born in 1999 from an idea of its president, Mr
Augusto Salomone, with the aim to create a line of typical southern Italys
food products and a brand that would guarantee
the absolute quality. I was privileged to live in Europe during a time this
company was coming into it's own. Our U.S. Military commissaries in Ramstein
AFB, Germany had a Gourmet Italia Cafe within the facility. I ate many a
meal there and was never disappointed. I liked the food so much I attended
cooking classes conducted by Gourmet Italia where I learned the proper
cooking of real Italian food.
One thing I learned from Gourmet Italia was that you must above all use
quality products. They have a line of quality products that are top notch.

Taste of Italy |
| Italy, a country of great diversity, is made up of twenty
provinces. Each has a very unique personality, with dialect,
customs, traditions, architecture and of course food and wine
that vary greatly from region to region. From the hot, dry south
to the cool alpine foothills, the regional cuisines are as
varied as the climates. The golden hills of saffron in the
Abruzzi lend a zesty spice to local risotto, while the bay of
Naples is renowned for its frutti di mare and mozzarella di
bufala. Visitors to Tuscany can sample rustic delicacies like
truffles and porcini mushrooms in the autumn, hearty soups like
in the winter and lemony colomba cakes or asparagus risotto in
the spring around Easter. |
