🍕 At Bar Basso in Milan on February 20th, the "Occhio al Gusto" sensory event showcased the distinctive organoleptic characteristics of Salamini Italiani alla Cacciatora DOP through a blind tasting led by chef ambassador Daniele Reponi. Five novel pairings were introduced, including combinations with pumpkin cream and balsamic cipolline, crispy sweet potato with soy sauce verza, mascarpone cauliflower cream with truffle, fresh kiwi with tabasco and sesame, and robiola three-milk cheese with negroni sbagliato zest. The event featured a reminiscence of the Negroni Sbagliato's origins by Bar Basso owner Maurizio Stocchetto, alongside tailored drink pairings. Paolo Beretta, President of the Italian Cacciatore Consortium, highlighted the aperitif ritual, citing that 48% of Italians partake with over 850 million aperitifs served in the last 12 months, amounting to €4.5 billion spent. The "Occhio al Gusto" event is part of the "DELI M.E.A.T." campaign, promoting DOP and IGP products in Italy and France, co-funded by the EU. Established in 2003, the Italian Cacciatore Consortium combats counterfeit DOP Salamini Italiani alla Cacciatora nationwide.

📖 The European Union has set legally binding targets to reduce food waste by 10% in production and processing, and 30% in retail, catering, and households by 2030. Too Good To Go welcomes this milestone but stresses it's insufficient to meet the UN SDG 12.3 goal of halving food waste by 2030. Key measures include collaboration between food companies and charities like Too Good To Go. Too Good To Go calls for transparency, elimination of wasteful practices, and support for waste reduction efforts.
