Also, I Love Italian Food, as digital media partner of the event, will be present to share with the world a part of the true Italian gastronomic tradition.
Ragù is a traditional recipe that comes from ingredients that have always been protected by Mutua Salsamentari 1876 and which, since 1982, is also defended by the Chamber of Commerce of Crafts and Agriculture in Bologna, which preserves the original recipe.
