Friends of Pesto Fresco, on Saturday, October 12, we welcomed to our Frasca e Nassa Laboratory in Loano<\/strong> students from the Suhrs<\/strong>Academy of<\/strong> Cuisine in Copenhagen<\/strong>, who chose us once again. So we organized a workshop especially for Suhrs Academy students, but first we did a demonstration of pesto mortar<\/strong> making, an ancient technique that has great appeal. Every year in the fall, students from the Suhrs Academy of Cuisine in Copenhagen make a trip to Italy<\/strong>, to Liguria and lower Piedmont<\/strong> to be precise, which we always welcome with great pleasure. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Introducing their students to the tradition and flavor of true Pesto alla Genovese through a visit and workshop at Pesto Fresco in Loano.

\nThey came to visit us to learn more about Pesto alla Genovese<\/strong> and the secrets of Pesto Fresco<\/strong>.<\/p>\nHere is the Pesto Fresco workshop to pass on the values and secrets of Pesto Genovese<\/h3>\n
\nTo help students understand the value to us Ligurians of this cold sauce made from PDO Genoese basil<\/strong>, we told the story of Pesto Genovese<\/strong>.
\nWe started from the basics<\/strong> and highlighted the importance of choosing raw materials<\/strong>.
\nFor the production of our Fresh Pesto, we follow the guidelines of the Pesto Genovese Consortium<\/strong>, thus choosing from the best local and Italian producers<\/strong>.
\nIn this way, we ensure a Pesto Fresco Genovese of the highest quality<\/strong>.
\nStudents from the culinary academy listened with great interest to the story, being fascinated by Angelo’s demonstration of pesto mortar making, while Enzo explained all the steps.
\nNext, we demonstrated how we now produce it for sale both in our workshop<\/strong>, to stores<\/strong> and through our ecommerce<\/strong>.
\nAgain, we have explained all the steps and machinery used.
\nAt the end, the pesto produced during the specially organized workshop was used as a condiment for a nice snack with Ligurian focaccia<\/strong>.
\nNot only that! This year we also made pasta!
\n<\/strong>We had the trofiette<\/strong> made by the nearby take-out place and together with the students of Suhrs Cooking Academy we topped them with our Pesto Fresco<\/strong> and … yum: ate them!
\nEveryone was very satisfied, and so were we, of course.<\/p>\nOn a journey to discover raw materials, processing and typical Ligurian and Piedmontese preparations<\/h3>\n
\nWe love these beautiful outreach and sharing<\/strong> initiatives!
\nThe Suhrs Culinary Academy students’ trip aims to get closer to different types of raw materials, processing and preparations typical of Liguria<\/strong> and Piedmont, as well asto learn about and appreciate a rich and varied cuisine renowned throughout the world.
\n<\/strong>We are very proud to have been chosen once again.
\nEvery year this appointment makes us very happy, because we can thus contribute to to make the tradition and unmistakable flavor of true Ligurian traditional Pesto known to the world.<\/strong><\/p>\n
