Italian Cuisine
Rooted in Italy’s rich heritage, Italian cuisine boasts a variety of regional variations. Much like Asian cuisines, Italian food from the North and South have its differences due to the varied climate and natural landscapes in the respective regions.
Southern Italian Food
Southern chefs consider fresh ingredients one of the staples of authentic Southern Italian cooking. Surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea, the region is blessed with an abundance of seafood and sun-ripened vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants.
Some of the regional classics include minestrone, eggplant parmigiana, tangy marinara sauce and one of the world’s most popular dishes, pizza. Olive oil is also one of the main ingredients of Southern cooking. You’ll find a whole range of olive oils in your meal—green oils for salads, light yellow oils for pan-searing fish and as dipping sauce for breads.
Northern Italian Food
North Italian food typically features ingredients sourced from green pastures and mountainous terrains, such as dairy products, meats and mushrooms. Northern Italian dishes celebrates heartier dishes, such as soups and stews, and incorporate meat like beef and veal.
The mountainous terrains of Northern Italy are typically used as grazing land for goats, cows, and sheep, in turn producing some of the tastiest cheeses, like Pecorino Romano, Parmigiano Reggiano, and Gorgonzola. With its rich dairy scene, butter is preferred to olive oil, resulting in a regional preference for creamy alfredo rather than tangy tomato sauces.
