These are just a few things that have been said about the dishes created by Calabrian chef Gigi Ferraro. 

As a result, it is a real honor for Fabbri’s Amarena to be selected as the main ingredient for his recipe, which was prepared in Moscow at the luxurious Cafè Calvados and created for the occasion of World Regional Cooking Day, which will take place on 23 July 2013. Not just for one day, but all year round, restaurant tables will display typical, traditional dishes from Italian regional cuisine, on menus all over the world, and they look set to stay there too. The initiative will take place this year, and every year until Expo 2015.

This ambitious project will involve serving lots of different recipes, and will come to an end at the same time as the beginning of another important event, promoted by INformaCIBO, “Il Gelato nel Piatto” with Parmigiano Reggiano, Parma Ham and PDO products. This triumph of innovation and recipes will delight even the most demanding palates – we really can’t wait!  And who knows what other recipes will give a starring role to Fabbri products?  

Here is the delicious recipe:
