On May 25,
the evocative "Vvertigo" terrace of the Conrad Hotel in Seoul was the setting for the "Authentic Italian Table - Aperitivo" event. This
event was organized by the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Korea as part of the
"True Italian Taste" project (promoted and financed by the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation with the support of
Assocamerestero) with the aim of promoting Italian agri-food excellence in the
“Country of the Morning Calm”.
In a large
outdoor setting, a selected group of influencers and food and wine lovers were able to taste authentic Italian products such as cheeses, cold cuts, wines,
Neapolitan pasta and pizza at the stands set up for the occasion.
The
organization of the event involved Italian companies active in Korea in the
food and beverage sector such as Illy, Divella, Loison, Campari,
Carpenè-Malvolti and other importers of Italian specialties that are greatly
appreciated by the korean peoples such as prosciutto of Parma, mortadella and
bresaola for “affettati” and pecorino romano, parmigiano reggiano, buffalo
mozzarella and provolone for cheeses.
During the event, the public not only had the opportunity to taste the best the "Bel Paese" has to offer in the gastronomic field but also discover the variety and richness of the Italian agri-food heritage.
