Come and explore the Italian cuisine with us, because who does not love Pizza, Pasta and amore? There is hardly a heart that does not beat for Italian cuisine. And how could it be otherwise? Italian recipes are easy, quick to prepare and taste absolutely delicious.
We personally love the taste of Mediterranean spices and sun-ripened ingredients that make us dream of green vineyards, sprouting olive trees and beautiful beaches.
But what is actually typical of Italian cuisine? There’s certainly more than Antipasti and Bruschetta or Tiramisu for dessert. If you want to know more about Italian cuisine and which Italian dishes we particularly like, you should read on! We took a closer look at the Mediterranean taste paradise and found out a few fun facts for you.
Fun facts about the Italian cuisine that you need to know
These are the four pillars of Italian cuisine
The Italians not only love their own cuisine, they actually live it. Food has a very special place in her life. It's not just about getting full, but enjoying life with every bite, preferably surrounded by family and friends. In addition, the Italians attach great importance to the quality of the products, the regional diversity and traditions.
Typical Italian “dolce vita” dishes
Where to start? Crunchy pizza with plenty of mozzarella and pasta with mediterranean tomato sauce are among the classics in Italian cuisine and have probably conquered the hearts of the world faster than any other dish.
Of course, there are other Italian recipes that should not be missing from any menu. Starting with a spicy antipasti appetizer and crispy bruschetta to a variety of ham variations. The main dishes, on the other hand, are high in carbohydrates and protein, so plenty of pasta and risotto rice as well as meat and fish should not be missing. Each menu is rounded off with a sweet dessert such as the well-loved tiramisu. Hence, "La dolce vita" which translates to “the sweet life”.
In order to bring the original taste of Italy and the sunshine of the south to your plate, we have the right spices for each of your favourite Italian dishes. A few pinches are enough and your culinary mediterranean journey can start. Buon appetito!
