cooperation with the Italian embassy, the event includes various activities to offer
food lovers a chance to savor the high-quality ingredients reflected in Italian
traditional cuisine.
The sixth edition aims to
promote the best of Italian agri-food supply chain and Italian food tradition
abroad, while highlighting the Mediterranean diet as a model of a healthy and
sustainable lifestyle.

attended by Italian Ambassador to Jordan Fabio Cassese, who said the event “will
contribute to highlighting the importance of the connection between
biodiversity and food diversity, as well as Italian food traditions”.
Cassese said the event
provides and occasion for Jordanians and Italians to get to know each other
better. “When people sit together and eat together they get to know each other
better and this helps them strengthen their relationship,” he said. He also suggested that Jordanian investors
consider opening a traditional Jordanian restaurant in Italy “because Italians
look for this type of food and come to Jordan to try the variety of Jordanian
dishes.”
The culinary week hosts two
chefs from Italy, chefs Giuseppe Silvestri, and Salvatore Aprea, who are
renowned for their long experience in prestigious Italian restaurants in Italy
and around the world.
The one-week program includes
cooking classes at the

in Amman and the Dead Sea.

the ITA’s office in Amman said the event has established itself over the years
as one of the leading initiatives to promote the best of Italian food and tradition
abroad. He told Jordan News that the agency is pleased that many Jordanians
will visit and enjoy the event.
Rania Omeish, the event’s
