Festivaldelgusto at Gusto Italia


Festivaldelgusto are very pleased to be one of the participants with Slow Food Anglia at the prestigious Italian food and drink event, the  Gusto Italia which is held on November 7th and 8th at the Sheraton Hotel, Park Lane in central London. As part of our ongoing commitment to our friends and clients in Italy we are attending the event to build on the very close links we now have with Sicilian and mainland Italian olive oil producers, chefs and artisan food businesses. We will also strengthen our ties that we now have built up with Olivaverde, Slow Food Anglia, Slow Food Sicilia and Slow Food groups in Italy.
Carmelo Carnevale the Sicilian chef who is responsible for organising Gusto Italia has personally invited Slow Food Anglia members and they have included us in their stand at the event. Carmelo came to Norwich to take part in our joint Festivaldelgusto and Slow Food Anglia festival we held there in August and he also met with our partners at Olivaverde at that event and sampled some of their range of their fine artisan olive oils, and he especially liked the Sicilian olive oil from Trapani.




We look forward to promoting our range of events and festivals that we offer in both the Mediterranean region and in the UK and also the fantastic range of artisan produced extra virgin olive oils we now represent. The Gusto Italia event in London is one of the premier Italian food events in London and the UK and we are pleased to be invited this year. 
At Gusto Italia we will also be meeting many of the Italian chefs who work in London and who are also members of Slow Food in Italy and hopefully we will be building even more links to artisan producers and also Slow Food groups in that country.
Gusto Italia held in London with the APCI is a national event and we hope to be able to take part in this prestigious event on an annual basis, and in future years will also invite some of our olive oil producers to come to London to take part in this prestigious event.
