Torta mascarpone. Can it be the best cheese in the world????

Manchego – it is a very distinctive cheese

I know it may sound strange, but I would say mortadella. On my last travel to Bologna, the mortadella I had there had nothing to do with the sorry excuse we have here. It was really in a class onto itself.

so many I’d like to know more about like manchego (love it!), bresaola, pancetta, jamon serrano and what the difference is between it and prosciutto… anything you want to tell us more about, I’m all ears

There are many of your products I’d love to hear more about. Fontina Val D’Aosta and Tallegio are cheeses I always crave during our long cold winter months. However, if I have to chose one, I’d have to say Mascarpone. It would be great to let people know that it’s much more than a Tiramisu’ ingredient.

serrano ham!! A close friend of mine’s father owns a little french bistro near the border of spain, and one of their appetizers, that I will never forget, was a dish of pain, fresh tomatoes, garlic and serrano ham. So simple but out of this world

I’d really like to know more about Tallegio and Piave Stravecchio cheeses because they’re totally new to me!

So I would love, love, love to hear about fresh truffles. I would love to hear about how you go to Italy to find the best and how you choose your product. I find the whole process so mysterious…that and I can’t get enough about truffle!

I would like to know about other oil that are interesting to use.

I’d like to learn more about Salami Genoa because my Italian father in law always raves about it.

More on Padano!!! I love it!! I ate a kilo of it in a little over a month!!
It’s amazing….and it should not take a back seat to parmigiano in my opinion!! gO pADANO go!

Hello,
I have not seen any blogs about Stracchino and/or Robiola-type cheeses. I have eaten stracchino cheeses in several different piadine over the years and have used it as a dollop on risotto and polenta
It’s a very versatile cheese and it can be used in many different dishes
ciao

Good question…
You have a lot of delicious products already featured in your blog.
So… I’m thinking DESSERTS !
How about torrone or even *real* Italian gelato (emphasis on real). I’m not sure if you hold these products… if not, then I really think you should evaluate the possibility to import them
We lack some of the good genuine stuff here !
Now I’m hungry !!

Perhaps talk about pasta – the best dried and how to make great fresh pasta (some family tips perhaps?!). I know it sounds a bit strange, because your topics usualy cover the more “exotic” Italian ingredients, but there might be something you could add that non-italians don’t know…
Also, reading the previous comments (re: Manchego, Serrano Ham) do you also cover Spanish foods?!
Nov 21, 2009
That would be a great idea !
I’d like insider tips on trofie; like Sarah said, the best dried trofie and how to make them at home (including the best pesto to serve it with and others sauces).
