Let’s explore the role of the tomato in gastronomy, from the great classics of Italian tradition to international recipes and even unexpected interpretations in the world of mixology.

Can you hear summer calling? Fragrant, vibrant and incredibly versatile, tomatoes are among the undisputed stars of our tables.

Let’s discover one of summer’s signature vegetables: the courgette, exploring the many ways it can be brought to the table through tempting starters, traditional recipes and surprisingly delicious sweet creations.

In June, courgettes take centre stage in markets and kitchens alike, thanks to their freshness, their remarkable variety of shapes and colours, and a versatility that runs through the whole of Italy’s gastronomic tradition.

We take you on a journey through flavours, textures, and pairings, designed to inspire new ideas across sweet and savoury creations, creative doughs, and contemporary drinks - all strictly “in red,” thanks to beetroot, cherries, and begonia.

This month, we want to explore the most unexpected side of the colour red in the kitchen: not the obvious one of tomatoes, but that of seasonal ingredients that bring character and originality: beetroot, cherries, and begonia.
