A World of Presidia: Food, Culture & Community

Slow Food Hong Kong and Dante Alighieri Society in Hong Kong invite you to a unique and extraordinary taste of Italy with Slow Food Presidia products.

The dinner tasting will be an elegant, intimate event featuring a special menu that will let you sample some of the freshest, finest ingredients Italy has to offer.

Offering an unique selection of cold cuts, pastas and salads, we are redefining Italian seasonal produce with a contemporary twist whilst still keeping all the authentic flavors. From rare coarse salts off the Southern coasts of Italy, to Sicilian Bronte pistachios, capers and olives, this evening will give you a refined approach to sustainable “farm-to-fork” dining.

All of this will be served with free flow wines directly imported from famous producers in Sicily and Umbria such as Tasca d’Almerita and Lungarotti.

Savor each scrumptious bite of organic produce, which honors the communities dedicated to safeguarding food biodiversity in terms of plant varieties, animal breeds with a contemporary twist.
