Welcome to Slow Food Piedmont
Slow Food is a non-profit, eco-gastronomic member-supported organization founded in 1989 in Italy.
Slow Food Piedmont celebrates local food and those involved in growing, selling, preparing and enjoying it. Our aim is to
- support farmers and food producers who focus on sustainable practices
- experience and preserve our food traditions
- rediscover traditional ingredients
- recognize those who contribute to the quality, authenticity and sustainability of the region's food supply
- advocate for better food in our schools etc.
Slow Food Piedmont's members share their experiences, resources, and new initiatives! If you are not a member yet, join us!
We hope your SPRING full of delicious bounty and you are enjoying the 'chase' for berries, garlic scapes and some of the other short, but OH SO special seasonal foods!
