Le Strade della Mozzarella come back to London

Le Strade della Mozzarella come back to London

Mozzarella! Two years ago I had the pleasure to attend the first London session of established Italian event Strade della Mozzarella (mozzarella roads) which is held each spring in beautiful Paestum. It was founded by the local Consorzio (cooperative) that groups together mozzarella di bufala producers from the area, to promote the knowledge and appreciation of such excellence. This year again, the afternoon long event was held at the Baglioni hotel in Kensington, but was also preceded by a celebration…

Every year in Paestum, in the beautiful area south of Naples called Cilento, a group of local mozzarella producers host an event called Le Strade della Mozzarella (Mozzarella Roads).

Discover Cilento – it happened again…

Discover Cilento – it happened again…

Discover Series… We did it again. Following on from the success (well, it felt that way) of the fundraising dinner DiscoverAbruzzo, I decided to plan a second event. Same cause (FAI, the Italian heritage trust), same location (our humble abode) but this time, why not enroll the help of fellow Cilento lovers @Squadrilla75 and Chiara, her friend from school and pastry chef? During our summer holidays in Villammare (Cilento), the planning begun.  We shopped for food, we asked our local chefs…
