S.Pellegrino Young Chef 2018

Exceptional Rosenthal framework for C’era una Volta, the Opificio Cucina e Bottega's creation for the selection process of S. Pellegrino Young Chef

Its name is C'era Una Volta and it tells the story of a bad queen and her desire to be the most beautiful of the kingdom; it evokes the story of an inspiring travel and of an ancient apple into a modern tale”. This is the way by which Matteo Borsari, Opificio Cucina e Bottega Restaurant’s Sous Chef, introduces his creation prepared for the S.Pellegrino Young Chef selection process.

We’ve made a research on the aging of beef’s heart and we’ve obtained a ready-sliced meat, laying that on a selection of ancient apples of Piedmont” – Matteo explains.
