The Consorzio Ricerca Filiera Lattiero- Casearia (CoRFiLaC), an organization located in Ragusa, is organizing Cheese Art 2002 to take place in the charming atmosphere of the Donnafugata Castle. This will be our third grandiose celebration dedicated to the rarities of Mediterranean dairy products featuring more than 100 artisan cheeses coupled with the best wines, oils, salami and other traditional products. Come and witness the most sought after perfumes and aromas from Mediterranean bio-diversity.
The dream and motivation of CoRFiLaC with Cheese Art is to give dignity and pride to traditional production systems, integrating the world of research with the world of eno-gastronomy through a renaissance of taste. Participating this year are internationally recognized researchers and journalists, buyers, enologists, cheese makers and aficionados of artisan cheese. Cheese Art 2002 aspires to become an event that one cannot resist, not only intended for the previously mentioned specialists but also for opinion leaders, high profile eno-gastronomic representatives, high quality catering services, and consumers who appreciate traditional flavors and pleasures of the fine table that are based on the highest quality prime materials that heighten not only organoleptic but also sensorial experiences.
Our goal is to stimulate the renaissance of our region and its gastronomic heritage. We hope to inspire tourists and aficionados to explore our region and discover new flavors -- uncovering and understanding the heritage of our traditional foods, cheeses, and gastronomy. We would like to guide you in a whirling exultation of aromas and tastes - authentic flavors that will invigorate the palate and expand the senses. This "renaissance" of your palate will let you taste the quality of our local foods and will illustrate the quality of our region's life.
Not only food, Cheese Art will feature a series of events that will magnify the cultural testimony of others where classic literature, architecture, music, philosophy, and customs have intertwined themselves with the wealth of history and tradition of a land that has endless dominance leaving one with the feeling of always wanting more to look at, to feel, and to see.
