To promote the history and culture of the Florentine territory through tasting its gastronomic delights, wine and extra virgin olive oil above all. This is the objective of Bite into Florence, a project conceived and financed by the Chamber of Commerce of Florence in collaboration with the Local Councils – Chianti Wine, Chianti Classico Wine, Tuscan Oil IGP and Chianti Classico DOP Oil – which have been encountering, since last year, dozens of students at the city headquarters of some of the most important foreign universities.

Richmond, James Madison, Syracuse, European University Institute and the Leonardo Da Vinci Institute, schools already involved in the project and that have promoted meetings to talk about consumer education, knowledge of the main denominations of origin, a correct reading of labels and, of course, guided tastings. A free project open to all the interested institutions (info: agricoltura@fi.camcom.it) – take a tasty memory of Florence with you!
