Everything is ready in Taurasi for one of the most anticipated events of the Campanian gastronomic summer. Tomorrow, the Marchionale Castle will open its doors to ‘In the Kitchen Tour’, the traveling event organized by the national association Chic (Charming Italian Chef), which this year stops in Irpinia for a day dedicated to haute cuisine, authentic relationships between chefs and producers, and the promotion of Italian agri-food excellence. The meeting, held under the patronage of the Municipality of Taurasi and partly reserved for industry operators and partly open to the public (by reservation), will be an authentic moment of exchange, discussion, and inspiration, far from the logic of a fair and close to the spirit of sharing. From 10 am to 2 pm, the Castle will become the beating heart of a culinary jam session. Not a fair, nor a congress, but a moment of creative exchange and direct interaction, where some of the most interesting interpreters of contemporary Italian cuisine will come together to share techniques, raw materials, and inspirations. The goal is to create an informal yet professional moment, where experimentation is fueled by human contact and respect for the quality of raw materials. Among the protagonists of the morning session are some prominent names from the Chic association, including Paolo Barrale from Aria Restaurant in Naples, Claudio Lanuto from Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel, Armando Amoroso from Connubio restaurant in Giugliano in Campania, Gabriele Piscitelli from Agape in Sant’Agata de’ Goti, Gianluca D’Agostino from Joca in Naples, and Giuseppe Stanzione from Santa Caterina in Amalfi. Alongside them, a selection of producers and partners will provide ingredients, technologies, and stories to tell: from Calvisius Caviar fish products to Felicetti pasta, from Varvello flours to Cagliari coffees, passing through San Bernardo water, Trabo knives, Bragard’s sartorial excellence, and the I&P selection. The meeting is held under the patronage of the Municipality of Taurasi. But the day does not end with activities reserved for industry professionals. Starting at 8 pm, still in the picturesque setting of the Marchionale Castle, the doors will open to an ‘author’s dinner by reservation’ (via WhatsApp at 3757353495 or via email at chic@ics-comunicazione.it; info@charmingitalianchef.com), aimed at the public and food enthusiasts. A true taste experience featuring some of the brightest chefs on the Campanian scene, called to reinterpret the agri-food excellences of the territory through original dishes, designed to enhance the deep connection with the Irpinian land. The dinner will be signed by Paolo Barrale, Claudio Lanuto, Armando Amoroso, and Gabriele Piscitelli, with the valuable contribution of pastry chef Carmen Vecchione from Dolciarte (Avellino) and pizza chef Giuseppe Pignalosa from Le Parùle pizzeria in Ercolano. In the opening, there will be a welcome aperitif curated by master pizza chefs Giuseppe Maglione from Daniele Gourmet (Avellino) and Pignalosa himself, who will present creations inspired by Neapolitan tradition revisited with contemporary techniques. The breadbasket, an often overlooked but central element in the identity of a table, will be made by master baker Guglielmo Capaldo from Capaldo Forno Contemporaneo, a sensitive interpreter of modern Campanian baking. Each dish will be accompanied by a selection of Docg wines from Irpinia, in a pairing designed to celebrate the meeting between the creative genius of the chefs and the extraordinary wine biodiversity of the territory.
