What you (maybe) did not know about Tropea Onion
The origin of the most famous onion of Italy is not yet 100% sure, however most historians agree it was brought here about 4000 years ago by the Phoenicians, a people who had frequent contacts with the land of Calabria for commercial reasons.
Since then, this red onion has found its ideal natural habitat: sandy but fertile soils, a Mediterranean climate that avoids sudden changes in temperature and proximity to waterways.
Sweetness and freshness are the distinctive characteristics of this onion, which is also an excellent ally in more elaborated recipes and not only raw.
Moreover, its beneficial organoleptic properties are well known, in particular as an antioxidant and balancer of intestinal bacterial flora.

Sur Lie Wines Between Fancy Labels, and Freshness
Defining them as natural, as it often happens, is not technically correct, however in the last years bottle refermented wines are getting more and more developed and successful.
They are produced with an ancestral method, in which are used the yeasts naturally present in the skins of grapes, therefore starting a first fermentation in steel tanks, which is interrupted and then resumed in bottle, keeping inside the yeasts themselves thanks to the absence of the disgorging phase.
The result is cloudy wines, with an olfactory sphere which exalts the aromas of bread crust because of the presence of yeasts, but at the same time they keep an absolute crispness, with citrus aromas which stand out and help drinkability.

Directly from Amalfi Coast PGI Lemons the Limoncello Pallini
Limoncello Pallini comes from the sunny and breezy terraces of the Amalfi Coast, one of the best places in Italy and the world for growing lemons, which find ideal morphological and climatic conditions here.
At the right stage of growth, the Amalfi IGP lemons of the Sfusato variety are picked by hand, and the peels are immediately infused to maintain maximum freshness.
Just as all families make limoncello at home, so the Pallini family has its own personal (and secret) recipe, starting with the infusion times which vary from 3 days to a week, depending on the ripeness of the lemons, the amount of alcohol and various other factors.
A product that is increasingly appreciated by consumers both in Italy and abroad, thanks to the ability to maintain a high level of quality in both taste and raw materials despite the increase in production volumes.

Chianina and Barbina Franciacortina, two different Fiorentine steaks
Macelleria Mastra Alebardi, in addition to a wide selection of fine international meats, offers some of the best Italian varieties.
Among the latter, today we will talk about two in particular, very different from each other, but despite the discrepancies they stand out for the quality of the animal and the method of breeding.
The first one is the queen of Italian Fiorentine (T-bone steaks) for notoriety, the famous Chianina, an animal born from work, of large size and therefore having a meat that tends to lean, elastic, with white fat distributed towards the external part, considered among the leanest and most digestible meats.
In contrast to the Barbina Franciacortina, a local breed selected by Macelleria Mastra Alebardi (based in the Franciacorta area), where the meat has an evident marbling on the whole surface and well distributed infiltrations, also here the fat tends to be white.
Both are subject to non-intensive farming, due to the characteristics implicit in the two varieties and the production philosophy of Macelleria Mastra Alebardi.
If you want to know the world of quality Italian meat, you just have to try them.
