Now in its third edition, it is a journey to rediscover the taste and flavors of our land: from Monti Pisani to Valdicecina, from Valdera to the coast of Pisa, among pasta, sweets, cheese, truffles, oil, sauces and liqueurs.
As in past editions, the Chamber of Commerce of Pisa, supported by the Matteotti Hotel Institute, the industry associations of Pisa and with the patronage of the Tuscany Region, the University of Pisa, the Municipalities of Pisa, San Giuliano Terme and Vecchiano, aims to promote and make rediscover to an audience of passionate connoisseurs and ordinary consumers, its excellent food products.
During the three–day event, more than 50 producers will sell and make taste to visitors typical and delicious locally sourced products.
In addition, several laboratories of nutrition education – with limited number – will be dedicated to Wine, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Salami and Cheese with industry professionals who will have the task of explaining the peculiarities of good food and leading towards a proper and healthy diet.
Novelty of this year, the sessions of themed Cooking Show. Each event will have a product as protagonist, prepared and presented by a young Chef of the Matteotti Hotel Institute. The best dish and its Chef will be awarded at the closing ceremony of the event.
In addition, also for this edition, within the Game Room at the Leopolda Station, to children recreational activities aimed at nutrition education will be dedicated.
Finally, on Sunday afternoon, you will judge! Meeting with the "Torta co’ bischeri": the best pastries of Pisa will face the "Vote for the most greedy Bischero" challenge. Registration now open with limited places.
And for the upcoming Christmas, make a "Gift ... of taste!". Each producer will prepare your Made in "Pisa Food & Wine" gift with a specially designed package.
