At 11am – PANE E OLIO | Food&Taste Education, by Slow Food
The process of olive oil’s production and the making of bread will be the core of an exciting lab which will take place in the Hortus Urbis: oil tasting on slices of bread that will be toasted using the adobe oven, built using ancient traditional technique. Andrea Russo (Slow Food, Rome) will teach the children and will share with them the taste of fresh, new made olive oil on bread. An appointment for youngsters and their families – a playful approach to recognize and value good food on our tables.
