The blog of San Lorenzo

At least in the States, where Prosecco is finally considered for what it is: a very good wine! Neglected for many year as simple ingredients for cocktails, Prosecco is now considered a wine of its own.

And we are proud to offer you a great Prosecco, Prosecco di Valdobbiadene d.o.c. Extra Dry, and an even greater wine (which cannot be considered Prosecco, but more an Italian Champagne), Franciacorta D.O.C.G. Brut - Millesimato 2004, both perfect all the way through your dinner!

Well, accordingly to the European Court only the cheese produced in Italy, and more specifically, produced by the Consortium for Parmigiano Reggiano in the provinces of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, Bologna to the west of the Reno River and Mantua to the east of the Po River, can be called Parmesan, or Parmigiano Reggiano.

Finally, the same rules that applies in Italy will apply all over Europe!

Why are we so precise? And why do we care so much?

Well, we have a tradition that dates back to the roman times, and Parmigiano Reggiano is still produced in that same way, with cow eating real grass and therefore producing high quality milk to which no additives are added. Parmigiano Reggiano also has long ageing process (and San Lorenzo sells you a rare 36 months Parmigiano Reggiano) and natural fermenting agents in the milk, present only in that part of Italy, give the cheese its flavour, texture and unique taste.

And we are proud of it!

Do you think action like this and that can be the real solution to the problem or they are just a palliative???

Is it enough to move fast foods far from schools or ban junk food ads?

Or that the real “remedy” it may be lay in the change of culture and the education to better nutrition, beginning from home cooking?

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!

San Lorenzo is very pleased to announce that this year, for their annual Christmas Dinner, the members of the Guild of Food Writers will taste and enjoy San Lorenzo’s good food, with a nice Cheese Fondue, a superb Risotto with Castelmagno, a nice salad with Goose Breast Fillets seasoned in Olive Oil, and, obviously, Panettone! And drinking fine wines all the way down too: Franciacorta, Chianti Classico, Morellino di Scansano and Moscato d’Asti.

Soon some picture insight!

Yesterday even the Uk press spoke about hw healthier and wiser is to chose organic.

Check it out on the Independent and on The Guardian.  Useless to say that many San Lorenzo products are organic, beginning from the extra-virgin olive oil, going down to the sun-dried tomatoes, just to give you two examples…
