It was a lively episode, filled with color and interest: the first segment of the program highlighted Scarperia, the pride of Mugello, with a visit to a knife producer, then came a jump to the historic 14th century milk farm, Il Palagiaccio, with its famous cheeses, all interspersed with various recipes. Then on to Villa Campestri in all it majestic surroundings, where Michela Rocco was welcomed by Paolo Pasquali and daughter Gemma, to show off the lovely grounds and Paolo’s new invention, OliveToLive, a beautifully designed machine that retains and disperses newly harvested olive oil with a permanently fresh taste. Chef Vissani was joined in the kitchen by Campestri’s chef Zanieri, to make a plate of a traditional Mugello dish that can easily be done at home, and bring a true taste of the Mugello to the viewer.
Enjoy, and share with us the joys of Mugello!
