Three very special sandwiches will be the stars this week, created by Michelin-starred chef Aurora Mazzucchelli and on sale between 12:00 and 22:00 for the whole week.
Three genuine works of art and food design with names inspired by the titles of Virgil’s work, in homage to the Mantuan poet who also gave his name to the project’s sponsor Consorzio Latterie Virgilio, which in turn provided the very best ingredients for the three gourmet sandwiches:
1. vir bonus
Brittle of Grana Padano D.o.p. Virgilio, cream of egg yolk, pancetta, salt and pepper.
2. de vino et venere
Cream of Parmigiano Reggiano D.o.p. 24 months Virgilio, beetroot ketchup, radish, young red chard leaves, smoked salmon, Virgilio butter and pepper.
3. de ludo
Aubergine caviar, pesto of Parmigiano Reggiano D.o.p. 24 months Virgilio and basil, candied tomatoes and extra-virgin olive oil.
The initiative is also organised in collaboration with the Pratorosso brewery so you can accompany each sandwich with three craft beers, also on sale at the Virgilio Gourmet Ape.
Save the date and have a great Design Week!
