The 8th Italian Gastronomy Week opens with the theme "Enjoy Italian Cuisine: Sublime Flavors with Healthy Ingredients"

Vietnam and Italy - 2 countries with similar cuisines

The two colorful cuisines of Vietnam and Italy have contributed to the world rich culinary flavors. More important than the recipes are the similarities in the healthiness of the diet and the way of preparing the dishes. "With the similarity with Vietnam in the regular use of fresh vegetables as well as the way of maintaining a balanced nutrition in the daily diet, I hope that the upcoming week will be welcomed by many Vietnamese friends", Italian Ambassador to Vietnam Marco della Seta shared at a press conference held on November 13.

The message of this year's week focuses on the similarities in healthy nutrition between Italy and Vietnam.

A highlight event of this year's culinary week is the seminar on fermented foods: "Decoding the never-before-mentioned effects of fermented foods in daily life". If Vietnam has fish sauce, Italy has cheese... Both are ingredients that possess the characteristic flavors of the two countries' cuisines, and both are achieved through the fermentation process of microorganisms. Fermentation can be considered one of the first processing methods applied by humans to preserve food.

In addition to interesting information, the conference also attracted a large audience with rich knowledge shared by professors in the food technology industry and culinary experts in Vietnam and internationally.

The public is excited to learn about fermented foods.

Meaningful messages about taste and healthy food

The Italian Cuisine Week in the World is an initiative of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and is held annually in many countries around the world, including Vietnam. In the spirit of the Italian Cuisine Week in the World, the theme of the Italian Cuisine Week in Vietnam also conveys meaningful messages about friendliness, hospitality and healthy nutrition on the Italian dining table.

Italian Ambassador to Vietnam, Mr. Marco della Seta shared: "As an annual event, this year we want to continue to bring the message of healthy Italian cuisine through the use of the freshest, most natural ingredients, along with processing methods that preserve the maximum amount of nutrients that are beneficial to health. Italian cuisine is not only delicious but also good for everyone's health and figure."
