Happy Maize!

May be it’s not really said enough, but all the packages San Lorenzo are 100% recyclable and environmental friendly! Green, to say it in one word!

The maize “chips” you’ll find in every package are only made with popped maize, 100% water soluble, 0% pollutant!

One of our costumer and friends found another way to use them, before to recycle them! Check it out!

And if you have any other idea on how to use our chips, well, send us a picture!!!

Happy mais

Tonight

You are sure asking yousrself why on hearth I haven’t yet went deeper on the subjects I just throw at you last week! Well, you are perfectly right, but, even if I’m actually living in Milan, the London craziness for Christmas Party was actually able to reach me, book me and make me crazy too! Not that I have 6 Christmas party in a row, but I have to say that I had to let down at least two invites! Which is nothing compare to people that go to Christmas party EVERY night from the 1st to the 24th December!

Anyway, tonight there is, I have to say, the one that looks absolutely the most stylish!

Tonight I will be more then honoured to represent San Lorenzo at the Telegraph Weekend Christmas Dinks 2007.

And as last spring, San Lorenzo logo was near Google logo, and we are still giggling about, this time, San Lorenzo Italian fine food is near Veuve Clicquot and Moët Hennessy.

And San Lorenzo has provided Pomegranate Catering with the food for the cocktail!

And as if that is not enough for today, our Moscato d’Asti was featured in a post on The Guardian blog Word of Mouth!

Well, you see? December in London can be really overwhelming!

Delicate Garlic Mayonnaise (Organic)

 

A tasty treat from French cuisine, this sauce (originally from Provence), has an intense aroma and is pleasantly tangy. A welcome addition to boiled vegetables, eggs, or grilled meat and fish. 100% gluten-free, it is suitable for controlled diets.

Remerging

I’m trying to remerge form just the middle of an intense London week!
London is already very intense by itself, but if you add up two San Lorenzo Christmas dinner in a row followed by an holiday weekend made of food, theatre (actually what has been defined by every Newspaper as “The hottest play in town!”) and tours around the city (still to come!), well, you can imagine why I’ve decided to write all about it in more then one post! And even why this is just an introduction, revealing nothing more then the facts! Uh, and add to all that, the in this web 2.0 era, where everybody is on facebook and we all love facebook, you spend several hours a day looking up for new friends, catching up with old friends and poking in general! ;-) By the way: have you joined San Lorenzo Group on Facebook???
Chronologically:
5th December 2007
: launch of the new San Lorenzo web campaign, called, for the moment (and now you’ll understand why for the moment!) DSUGISLP! The most difficult acronym in the world just to say Desperately Seeking User Generated Ideas for San Lorenzo, Please! Soon more about it!
6th December 2007: as I said before, we enjoyed celebrate Christmas with the Guild of Food Writers! A delightful evening, chatting about risotto, Panettone, cheese… Soon more about it!
And then from the 7th, my holiday, but I will send you somewhere else (coming soon there too!!!) if you really feel the need to know about it! ;-)

Grappa di moscato

grappa di moscatoGrappa is a wonderful Italian craftman goody!

Our Grappa di Moscato is produced from high quality lees. Few vines are able to transfer their aromatic substances like Moscato, which gives a clear, unmistakeable flavour to its distillate. Distilled in a “bain-marie”, a slow, expensive process, the final product is supple and aromatic.
