    YOUR O.A.T. ADVENTURE TRAVEL PLANNING GUIDE® Tuscany & Umbria: Rustic Beauty in the Italian Heartland 2021 Small Groups: 8-16 travelers—guaranteed! (average of 13) Overseas Adventure Travel ® The Leader in Personalized Small Group Adventures on the Road Less Traveled 1 Dear Traveler, At last, the world is opening up again for curious travel lovers like you and me. And the O.A.T. Tuscany & Umbria itinerary you’ve expressed interest in will be a wonderful way to resume the discoveries that bring us so much joy. You might soon be enjoying standout moments like these: I love to eat in Italy (who doesn’t?) and Tuscany is truly a gastronomic playground, brimming with some of the nation’s most iconic dishes. You’ll see what I mean when you spend A Day in the Life in the Chianti Valley on a family-owned goat farm where you’ll have a chance to meet the goats, learn about organic farming practices during a stroll through the fruit and vegetable gardens, and discover the secrets of cheese-making firsthand before sitting down with your hosts for a farm-fresh lunch. While I adore so many of the Italian traditions that I’ve encountered, I was saddened to learn about a darker side of this country’s heritage and the consequences of the machismo culture: femminicidio , or violence against women. When you visit La Città delle Donne—an organization that provides vital services for victims of domestic abuse, you’ll meet some of the volunteers who work closely with the survivors.

    COMPETITORS ITALY PASTA May 2014 INTRODUCTION TO METHODOLOGY Databank's methodology for Competitors reports begins with a careful screening to identify the main organisations that are representative of a given sector. Several one-to-one interviews are then conducted with the selected organisations. Questionnaires are sent to all the leading companies on an annual basis. The information collected is then verified by an expert in the particular sector using a system of counterchecks to guarantee that the information is entirely reliable and consistent. The process is then completed using Cerved Group's proprietary information about Italian enterprises. All Competitors reports also include details concerning the strategies and performances of the leading companies in each sector. Wherever no specific source is indicated, the information published in these reports can be assumed to have been taken from Cerved Group's proprietary information bank.

  • Catalogo Poiatti-2019-BASSA.Pdf
    La pasta della tradizione etnea Catalogo Prodotti Una grande passione di famiglia Nel 1985 Alberto Poiatti ha rilevato il pastificio G&G Grasso di Riposto, esistente dal 1926, prendendo così in mano la tradizione pastaia della cittadina etnea, già riconosciuta e citata da storici dell’800. I risultati del connubio tra tradizione, innovazione ed esperienza si sono evidenziati nella qualità e nel successo della pasta Alberto Poiatti, che ha consentito ben presto all’azienda di realizzare un nuovo e grande impianto industriale e di incrementare così la produzione e la gamma delle linee e dei formati, assicurando un elevato standard qualitativo. L’alta tecnologia sposa la tradizione L’azienda Alberto Poiatti ha saputo impostare la produzione come un vero sistema ad alta tecnologia, in cui si integrano oggi 4 linee produttive, 11 confezionatrici e una logistica automatizzata, controllata in ogni fase da un centro informatizzato. Il tutto per garantire il massimo rispetto dei tradizionali standard qualitativi di una pasta fatta a regola d’arte. Attualmente la produzione ha una potenzialità di oltre 600.000 quintali di pasta annui, potendo contare su linee produttive in grado di toccare le 230 tonnellate quotidiane. Macchinari all’avanguardia e una selezione dei migliori grani, consentono la produzione di paste dalle caratteristiche davvero eccellenti, la cui corposità esalta tutti i sughi e i condimenti, dai più semplici ai più fantasiosi, e stupisce ogni volta con la bontà del suo sapore. Le semole di grano duro, selezionate con cura, sono impastate sottovuoto, per garantire l’omogeneità dell’idratazione. La qualità finale è garantita dal rispetto del programma HACCP e degli standard IFS e BRC (per entrambi Higher Level Certification) certificati dal DNV.
