A tribute to Brianza <\/a>by IButtic\u00e8 of Il Moro Ristorante<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This research was inspired by the sense of gratitude and gratitude for this land that hosted us 18 years ago, welcomed us and allowed us to reach a human, professional, ethical and moral maturity of which we are particularly proud. These feelings have inspired this dedication to the Brianza land, the skills and experience, now more than thirty years, of IButtic\u00e8 have been involved in the development of this gastronomic proposal, Brianza tasting menu and local biodiversity.<\/p>\n<\/div>

A Journey to Discover Brianza<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The research began about 200 days ago, with a journey to discover Brianza<\/a> and its excellences. The chefs, together with their team, have dedicated themselves to meeting farmers, cheesemakers, breeders and butchers of the region, in search of the best raw materials. This adventure involved friends and acquaintances in the area, who suggested small production companies to visit, the purpose: to show gratitude to the territory that has hosted us for 18 years and create the Brianza and local biodiversity tasting menu. <\/p>\n

Every Thursday and Saturday morning, the restaurant team set out on a journey, exploring both lower and upper Brianza. These excursions turned out to be a sensational, rich and endless discovery, which allowed us to establish direct relationships with local producers and to select ingredients of the highest quality. <\/p>\n

Salvatore and Vincenzo Buttic\u00e8 say: ” We have experienced the richness of Brianza not only in its infinite basket, but also for the spirit, loyalty and sincerity of every single person we have met. This journey has enriched not only the restaurant’s menu, but also our soul and our spirit.” <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>

The research that tells and brings to life the history of a land.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

– the research, to develop the menu dedicated to Brianza biodiversity, started from the assumption “you eat what you have and what you are”<\/em> and the challenge was to overcome the paradox of associating Brianza’s gastronomic culture only with winter dishes, trivially Brianza POP could not eat and nourish itself only in winter.<\/p>\n

Discovering the Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first phase of the research concerned the collection of information and knowledge of the predominant elements of Brianza’s biodiversity. A high presence of sheep, goats and farmyard animals, as well as pigs, was discovered, with a fair presence of Garronese cattle farms. These elements formed the basis for developing a menu that reflects the natural, cultural and artisanal resources of the local micro territory. <\/p>\n

The Dairy Basket<\/strong><\/p>\n

The second step was the selection of the dairy basket. Also in this area, Brianza has shown a rich dairy culture. In addition to blue cheeses and Grana Padano, the region boasts a great variety of goat, pork and cow’s milk cheeses and dairy products. This variety has made it possible to create dishes that enhance the local dairy tradition, offering curious and original combinations. <\/p>\n

The vegetable basket<\/strong><\/p>\n

Finally, the research focused on the vegetable basket. Starting from ancient Brianza wheat, which produces a very weak flour, the restaurant team turned to small farmers who practice organic farming or integrated pest management. These farmers provide a variety of plant products that further enrich the menu, ensuring freshness and quality.<\/p>\n<\/div>

What techniques for local biodiversity<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The processing and cooking techniques dedicated to the enhancement of Brianza biodiversity are a mixture of classic and contemporary techniques, the primary objective is precisely the enhancement of the ingredients with the intention of bringing Brianza biodiversity to the table in its immediacy, in its simplicity in its sincerity. Obviously, the elements of contemporaneity have been included together with two characteristics of chefs Salvatore and Vincenzo Buttic\u00e8: elegance and freshness. <\/p>\n

Innovation and Tradition<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The chefs of the Il Moro Restaurant offer a perfect balance between innovation and tradition, contemporary elements have been inserted with elegance, a distinctive feature of chefs Salvatore and Vincenzo Buttice, who know how to combine freshness and originality with their gastronomic proposals. This combination ensures that each dish brings out the qualities and sensory characteristics of the ingredients used.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The Proposals<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Once the research, the collection of information and ingredients was completed, the most creative part of the culinary project of the Il Moro Restaurant began. In an intense brainstorming session with Lara and Roberto, we set to work to turn ideas into dishes. Designs, patterns, combinations, coherence and contrasts, textures, playfulness, softness and hardness, temperatures and chromaticity have taken shape in a menu that celebrates Brianza in all its infinite richness. <\/p>\n

The creative process<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The creative process lasted 45 days, during which we worked tirelessly to develop a gastronomic project dedicated to Brianza. Each dish has been carefully designed to enhance the peculiarities of local ingredients, through innovative combinations and cooking techniques that enhance authentic flavors.<\/p>\n<\/div>
