Assaggia la Liguria - Taste Liguria

The Enoteca Regionale della Liguria, the PDO Riviera Ligure oil Protection Consortium and the PDO Genoese Basil Protection Consortium once more join forces on occasion of a new project funded by measure 3.2 of PSR (i.e. RDP, Rural Development Programme) Regione Liguria 2014/2020. "Assaggia la Liguria – le tre filiere" (i.e. Taste Liguria – the three supply chains) focuses on the promotion of the flagships of Ligurian enogastronomy: EVO, Genoese basil and wine, the symbols of an ancient cultural history.
The aim of the project is to raise the awareness of consumers about the importance of EU G.I. certified products. Starting from May, 22nd restaurants belonging to the Ligurian Gourmet network will host a calendar of theme dinners throughout the region: experts of the three productions will provide guests with advice on how to choose, taste, pair and store the three icons of the Mediterranean identity - EVO, basil and wine.
The launch of the initiative will take place in Recco: three dinners organized in collaboration with the PGI Focaccia di Recco col formaggio Protection Consortium.
