| In Italy, cooking is an art.
The essence of the food is found in the perfect combination of
the ingredients.
Olive oil, sauces, spices, herbs and parmesan cheese, play
important roles in cooking the food. The Italians are
known for the use of pasta, rice, beans, eggplant, bell
peppers, zucchini, artichokes, escarole, and of course,
tomatoes as something typically Italian, but also spinach, carrots,
celery and potatoes. Fresh ingredients are the essential
part of the meals. In a typical ordinary meal, pasta, rice
or soup is served as “il primo piatto”. Meat or fish will
be “la seconda piatta” accompanied by vegetables, and then
an espresso coffee and dessert. Italian emigrants might
forget their language, but they never forget how to cook
Italian foods. |

of olive oil, but five of them are well known: Extra-Virgin, Virgin,
