The Giro is heading to Veneto, home land of a hge wine production, among which, Prosecco di Valdobbiadene D.O.C. .
This sparkling Prosecco, perfect with appetizers, main dishes and desserts, has a distinguished aromatic note. Served chilled, it is so light, enjoyable and refreshing that one glass will never be enough!
This Prosecco is among the wine we will drink in London, the next 5th June, at the Goggle offices.
The Giro is going in and out Austria.
San Lorenzo’s sells Italian products, I know, but why can’t a wonderful Italian jam complete a traditional Austrian puff?
Those golden little puffs have an hidden treasure: an hearth of San Lorenzo’s Blueberry extra jam.
Our blueberries are just incredible: grown in the wild, they are tangy forest flavour!
This jam can accompany any dish, from a good roast, to the bread and butter!

In Italy San Lorenzo is very well know for its wonderful products: we were born there, we began there, we ARE there!
One of the major events lunched this year is "Il vino lo portiamo noi!" (We bring the wine!). Practicly, you add yourself on line to the list of the wanna be participants. 10 names will be drawn and brought to lunch in a wonderful restaurant, with a chef’s menu and San Lorenz’s wines. What the lucky 10 should do is just show up on the date of the event (the first will be the 29th of June) and toast with San Lorenzo’s wines and eat the chef specials! We take care of the bill: we only want you to be happy and merry!
England too as many many wonderful restaurants!
Let’s begin with a list: which are in your mind 10 best England restaurants?

Directly in the mountains of Trentino, the Giro is approaching the home land of one of our wonderful cured meat: Speck.
Speck is a smocked and spiced ham, made following the traditional methods. First the ham is marinated in a brine of spices and herbs, and after 15 days is smocked over juniper woods, and than aged for four to five months.
An excellent product, ready to satisfy your palate in whichever preparation!

The Giro d’Italia is going near the Piemonte and Lombardia borders, to stop tomorrow in Lombardia and leave again the region, to come back at the end, for the final stop in Milan at the beginning of June.
Among San Lorenzo’s products there are so many from those two regions that I had to choose, and the choice was very hard!
The Organic Carnaroli rice is a fine products from the planes of Pianura Padana. It’s perfect for risotto, one of our best traditional dishes…
Bitto is a wonderful cheese, form the Alps, traditionally made only a the end of the summer, with fresh cow milk.
And together they can only make good things!

This afternoon the Giro d’Italia is heading outside our borders, to Briançcon, France.
San Lorenzo sells a wonderful Champagne Grande Réserve Sélection. Our Champagne is, of course, produce in the Champagne region, in the north. Briançon is just outside Italian borders, and far from Champagne, but it’s anyway France. And why not wash away nice and "light" mountain food with a good bottle of Champagne?
Our Champagne is produce since 1930. It ages at least 4 years, partly in oak barrels, and it’s primarily made with Pinot noir grapes.
Try it!

Today we are heading to Piemonte, the land of hearthy wines and wonderful cheeses, but even the home land of the best Italian hazelnuts. And what there is better to do with hazelnut if not the best Hazelnut & Chocolate cream in the word, made just with only Piemontese hazelnut, cocoa and sugar?
Forget about the most famous brand and give a try to the reach, intense and lifesaving San Lorenzo’s hazelnut & chocolate cream! To eat of the spoon, off the ladle, spread on your crusty bread, lavishly in front a that good movie you know…

And today we are heading to the San Lorenzo’s home land, Liguria!
A torn region, divided between sea and mountains, between the production of basil, flowers, olives and fishing…
Pesto originates from here, as do trofie, extra-virgin olive oil, olives of many kinds…
We are very proud to be part of this wonderful tong of hearth between Alps and sea…
