- Now in its second year our goal for the program was to continue to create a greater appreciation of Italian cuisine in the United States by visiting schools and campuses to further extend the mission of the Italian Culinary Foundation through our partnership with the Apro/Barolo School in Alba, Italy and the support of the Italian Ministry of Agriculture.
- To address the need for a better understanding of high quality, authentic regional Italian products by including a product vendor representative on the visits to school campuses when possible. Our partner this year was Grana Padano who also participated in the Faculty Professional Development trip to Italy by providing an extensive tour of their facilities.
- To highlight the nutritional benefits of Italian cuisine through the products used and the recipes chosen for the demonstrations. The Chefs emphasized the effective use of olive oil and high quality ingredients and provided cost effective application methods which can be utilized in commercial production kitchens.
