In a special collaboration with Chef Renato Bernardi, we have created a series of exclusive recipes designed to be replicated in your kitchen with the help of our quality products. Each month, we bring you a new recipe, and for the month of June, we present a dish that is a true hymn to the summer season: Fiore di Zucchina Farcito con Fior di Latte, Alici di Cetara e Porchetta di Ariccia. This recipe is a perfect symphony of flavors, combining the delicacy of zucchini flowers with the intense flavor of Cetara anchovies and the succulence of porchetta from Ariccia.
