Presentation of the Glocal Gourmet project

By encouraging local production and the use of locally grown ingredients we tackle a global problem and transform it into a challenge for all of us. The main goal of this project is to support local producers and make the young generations aware thereof, as well as encourage them to build a more sustainable future.

With this purpose the Hit Company and top Chef de Cuisine Emanuele Scarello, who owns the famous two-Michellin-starred Agli Amici restaurant in Godia near Udine, joined forces. Our goal is to encourage through the involvement of not only the personnel of both companies, but also their customers, culinary culture on a high level and a sustainable approach from the supply chain with a selection of local and seasonal ingredients to the commitment to diminish the use of plastic, the fight against waste of food, etc.

Cuisine represents in this case an extraordinary bridge between an upscale gourmet experience and the development of a sustainable lifestyle in order to take care of the local environment and offer the best promotion to local wine and gastronomy. In order to reinforce the link between gastronomy and the local environment we have started a series of connecting events: four-handed dinners in cooperation between two superb Chefs de Cuisine. The first event was held on Thursday, 21 March, at the Calypso Restaurant in the Nova Gorica-based Perla. The following events are held one per season.

The first goal is to enter 2021, when Slovenia is to become a European gastronomic region, with concrete results and from there on continue the set path bearing in mind that health always starts at the table; our health as well as the health of our planet.

Emanuele Scarello
Emanuele Scarello was born in 1970 and followed the steps of his mother Ivonne Bodigoi since he was little. Ivonne, who is an excellent cook (Lenotre school) continues to be his mentor. After finishing a catering and hotel management school in Italy and an internship in Italy and abroad, Emanuele continued his cooperation with renowned Italian and European cooks. From 2009 to 2012 he was the president of Jeunes Restaurateurs d'Europe (Europe's young restaurant managers). As he was always willing to share his knowledge and experience, this gave a unique and personal touch to his dishes, which are characterised by local ingredients and modern flavours. His excellence was recognised also by the Michelin guide, which awarded him in 2000 his first Michelin star. In the same year he also received the »Sole« award by the Veronelli guide and until now his restaurant is the only restaurant in this region with two Micheln stars (2013) and three hats awarded by Guida de L’Espresso. In 2013 he was nominated best Italian cook by the renowned newspapaper Corriere della Sera.
