  • Shelf-Life Guide
    SHELF-LIFE GUIDE Storage does not improve food quality. The quality of a food will also not decrease significantly during storage as long as it is stored properly and used within the recommended time frame. Maintaining a food’s quality depends on the quality of the raw product, procedures used during processing, the way food is stored and length of storage. These short but safe time limits will help keep refrigerated foods from spoiling or becoming dangerous to eat. Because freezing keeps food safe indefinitely, recommended storage times are for quality only. Storage times are from date of purchase unless specified on chart. It is not important if a date expires after food is frozen.

  • “Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread”
    “Give us this day our daily bread” Rosalba Gentile Abstract Bread is a universal and ancient staple that in Italy is regarded as the symbol of both food and national unity. Nonetheless, the great variety of breads dating back to Roman times and still available in the country recalls the political fragmentation of pre-Unification Italy. Furthermore, as it is essentially a cultural object, bread is closely intertwined with the social structure of Italian society whose cultural and dietary shifts, however, have adversely affected bread production and consumption. The latter, moreover, is also linked to the so- called diseases of civilisation that actually constitute public health problems. The political aspects of bread analysed in this paper mainly pertain to the national and European legislation which establishes the characteristics and names of Italian bread, and to the gradual disappearance of artisan bakery that does not seem to attract the younger generations. The relationship between bread and environment, on the other hand, shows how climate change, pesticides, and fertilisers negatively impact on wheat production. Additionally, bread-making technology and the controversial issue relating to GM crops highlight the unavoidable role of biotechnology in the future nutritional scenario. A scenario that is likely to be dominated by healthy foods such as gluten-free, salt- free and functional breads. Keywords: bread, Italy, cultural object, environment, bread-technology. Introduction Bread has been widely recognised as one of the most ancient and basic foods of mankind;1 a daily staple that has significantly helped to form the foundations of civilisation2 and which still lies at the heart of contemporary society.3 This basically allows to view bread as a sort of “prism” that is apt to imbibe, refract, and eventually unify a great variety of cultural events, thus creating a common and coherent language;4 i.e., a ‘sensory language’ permitting a mutual comprehension between 1 Cauvain, S.P., 1998.
