I’d love to hear from you: how do you choose your products? Are you familiar with PDO and PGI products? How do you recognize the quality of the food you buy when you do not know the producer?
If this is a subject that is interesting for you – an informed way to shop for local and sustainable products – let us know, as we might work on a series of episodes specifically dedicated to the different products, with interviews and recipes.
