Terre dei Gigli has had a facelift: a new design, but the same commitment as always in the research of delicious and genuine specialities. What does it mean to us, to travel through the best flavours of Italy? It means to set off, right now, on a discovery of delectables to bring to the table every day, treating ourselves to a small masterpiece of flavour.

Journey with Terre dei Gigli to discover Italy's most genuine flavours

Follow the inspiration

No maps are needed on this quest, because we will not limit ourselves to traversing marked trails. The roads to taste are lost within small villages perched on forested hilltops, in kitchens where water boils and fragrances of tomato sauces are hearty and inviting. We will walk along routes made of tasty bites, superior ingredients and prized relishes. Our noses shall be our compass, and every stop we take will be a taste explosion.

Close your eyes and discover flavours old and new

On our journey it is essential to put our discoveries to the test. And there's just one way to do it: from the tip of your fork! And then we will sit at the table and savour, even better if done in good company. The taste test is strict: we will bring with us only the products that ignite a unique sensation, a reaction that makes you feel like you are at home.

Every journey has a story

Along the journey and between our stops, how many stories we will hear! Those of producers, of small businesses and stores where specialities are produced in accordance with tradition. Travelling means encountering new points of view, exchanging opinions, sharing experiences. Every face tells a story, every kitchen has seen a thousand busy hands, every glance contains all that remains unsaid. Fingers plunge into doughs kneaded with patience, and in our minds we fixate on memories, advice, stories and anecdotes that make every meal richer. We eat with our sense of sight, and of taste, and sometimes through our patient listening.

Goodness to the touch

Among the things that we have done, the experiences we have lived, there is also this to look forward to: getting to stroke the surface of a candied pastry "frollino", still warm from the oven. Let fresh pasta slip from your hands directly into boiling water, hull rice, and even if you shouldn't, use a piece of homemade bread to scoop some extra virgin olive oil from the plate and eat it with gusto. Touch helps us to deepen our understanding of that which we put on the plate. Walk in a grove among ancient olive trees or in a vineyard that divides the slope of a hill into green corridors, touching leaves, bark and fruits... Is there a better way to sense the pulsating energy of the fruits of the land?

Beauty to contemplate

The red of the tomato, the gold-streaked emerald green of the most intense oils, the white of the grains of rice and the black laced in purple of the Balsamic Vinegar of Modena. Brushstrokes of a painting made up of sensations, taste and pleasure. Food is also a performance to observe, a promise of goodness that arrives from the eyes to the heart: all you need is a single taste!
