Artisanal Italian Foods for the Modern Table with Viola Buitoni Balsamico, Burrata, and Bottarga—Uncooked and Fabulous 1–2:30 p.m. $65 per person Italy’s artisanal ingredients are born out of centuries of tradition and the wisdom of tight-knit communities who learned how to the harness the local environment into a sustainable production of long-lasting provision. Even though these products are globally available to chefs, they are still shrouded in mystery for many home cooks. Join Chef Viola Buitoni in the Napa Valley Vintners Theater as she demystifies iconic foods and invites you to open your mind and kitchen to their bold, inimitable flavor. You’ll focus on three important ingredients—balsamico, burrata, and bottarga—through Viola’s personal stories, professional experiences, and demonstrations and tastings of simple recipes. You’ll get shopping tips and sources, and Viola will answer all your questions. At the end of the event, you’ll receive a handout with the recipes and information on sourcing ingredients so you can try them in your own kitchen. This event is presented by CIA at Copia in cooperation with the Italian Cultural Institute of San Francisco.
