Liguria

Liguria, a coastal gem cradled by mountains, is more than just the birthplace of pesto. Its cuisine is thrifty, plant-based, and brilliantly resourceful, making the most of fresh herbs, olives, and anchovies. Think about pesto—an iconic sauce born from a handful of basil, pine nuts, olive oil, and cheese. Liguria’s food is both humble and inventive, relying on what’s available, with meat playing more of a supporting role than the main attraction. From stuffed vegetables to the rich tocco sauce, Ligurian dishes pack flavor and history in every bite.

Over the years, Vince has become like a family member. He takes time to speak to Davide, our youngest son, now 19 years old, about family, soccer, life, tradition and work. Talking about olive oil, business is almost always the last topic we discuss. Family first!
