Carattere Italiano showcases a side of our cuisine that does not seek out neutral flavours. The selection plays with chilli, truffles, spices, dark chocolate and wines with a distinct character, alternating between traditional recipes and more contemporary pairings. The selected producers also follow this approach: some work with ingredients closely linked to their local area, such as the Tropea Red Onion (Calabria PGI), whilst others take their experimentation as far as chocolate, pairing it with coffee and cardamom or creating a gin-infused filling. The result is a collection that is intense yet not extreme, designed for those who prefer to discover different flavours rather than simply encountering the most familiar ones. A Christmas gift with a distinct personality, designed for curious recipients.
