Slow Food Emilia-Romagna has honoured us by welcoming us into the Slow Food Alliance of Chefs, an achievement made possible thanks to the vital collaboration between the zero-mile restaurant “Il Bassotto”, led by chef Franco, and local producers from our Apennines – a sustainable project aimed at protecting agri-food biodiversity and safeguarding culinary traditions and local cultures. Let’s start afresh from the land, let’s start afresh from the Apennines. The Slow Food Alliance is a pact between chefs and small-scale producers to promote good, fair and clean local food and to safeguard biodiversity. The Alliance’s chefs use, every day in their kitchens, the produce of farmers, breeders, cheesemakers, fishermen, winegrowers and artisans who produce with passion and respect for the land and their animals. On their menus, you can find local produce, Slow Food Presidia, products from the Ark of Taste, Earth Markets and Slow Food communities.
