Went for just one day to Salone de Gusto. Not completely sure what it's all about...I could've wandered for a long time at this wonderful food show. The area I focused on was all Italian food creators and vendors. Met some unbelievable people!
LOTS of olive oils...
Cannoli and pastries...
Cheese...
Vegetables of every kind...
Chocolate...
Gelato... (I tasted a hazelnut "popsicle")
Meat...like yak...
Herbs and spices...
CANNOLIS!
and artisans making baskets, stringing up cherry tomatoes...
Cactus and interesting veggies from around the world...
Art made from dough and grain...
Displays about curing meat...
Natural displays of prosciutto...eek. Yes, that is a cured pork leg...
She is making cigars by hand...smelled great.
And more Cannolis!
Many of the people I met...
Farmer/educators from Puglia, Italy...
and the chocolate maker with his masterpiece! Chocolate panties...
The bakers who make something they call "Sweet Tits" pronounced 'teats' by the Italians...lol
Didn't catch the official name, but they gave me one to try.
Delicious cream filled cakes.
In the wine area...a group of Italian men singing for the cameras...
Wonderful day meeting lots of great people!
Went back on Monday to see the International area.
Dried fish...
Distilling alcohol...
Very fancy olive oil packaged like perfume!
Saffron...
In the French booth, I think this is some kind of cheese...
Camel's milk and honey...
And more cured meat...
Coming home with lots of goodies!
