Dec. 4 – An intercontinental tour for buffalo mozzarella DOP. After Dubai, Vienna and Lyon, Italy’s white gold ends its international adventure in Paris with two sold out events. The Ville Lumiere welcomed all Italian food lovers, who attended the workshops that debuted at the Carrousel du Louvre Le Strade della Mozzarella. The Carrousel was organized by two giants of the food and wine communication sector: Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve. Two meetings in the “Ateliers Gourmets,” introduced by Enzo Vizzari, director of the Espresso Guides, presented buffalo mozzarella and pizza, a classic combination reinterpreted by pizza masters Franco Pepe and Salvatore Salvo. The event was an important opportunity to discover more great products from the Campania region, such as San Marzano tomatoes, Vesuvius Piennolo, and Gragnano pasta. The Parisian tour ended with a sold-out dinner at the Rebellato pizzeria “La Famiglia,” in the presence of Ambassador Giandomenico Magliano. Franco Pepe, Salvatore Salvo, Gennaro Nasti, Enzo Coccia and chef Alfonso Caputo presented different ways to prepare the winning combination Mozzarella di Bufala-Pizza. The liaison between buffalo mozzarella DOP and Paris brought in extraordinary results, with the Consortium starring in the show “Eccellenze Campane”, an event promoted by the Regional Council for Economic Development and Production Activities. The initiative has been highly successful and saw Gerard Depardieu express his love for the product and the region.
