What, in your opinion, is the fruit or vegetable that best represents Italy?
Write it to me immediately in the comments, because from today we want to start a great challenge: to build together the ranking of the products that represent our country.
Today I'm taking you to Puglia, to Acquaviva delle Fonti.
This is the Acquaviva onion, known for its intense red color, its characteristic flattened shape and for a particularly delicate taste,
so much so that many people also like it raw. In the area it is said that part of its uniqueness is also linked to the abundance of water that
has always characterized Acquaviva delle Fonti. It is a story that has been handed down for generations and that makes this product even more fascinating.
And that's exactly what we're looking for every morning.
Not perfect products just because they look good.
But products that have an identity.
Products that tell the story of the work of those who cultivate them, the territory from which they come and the passion of entire generations.
And there is one thing that makes us particularly proud: to be able to ship products like this even abroad.
Because, as I wrote in my book Looking for the Perfect Fruit, when I see a cassette leaving and I know that
It will arrive on the tables of people who will be able to appreciate it, I don't just see merchandise that travels.
I see an ambassador from our country.
An ambassador who brings with him the flavor, culture and extraordinary work of those who cultivate Italian excellence every day.
Because perfection isn't about looking like everyone else. Perfection is having an identity so strong that it is recognizable at first taste.
And now it's your turn: which product best represents Italy?
