Cross-border project with Slovenia "Go!Pasta" kicks off

(ANSA) - TOLMEZZO, 06 FEB - The city of Tolmezzo (Udine) hosted the presentation event of the project "GO! Pasta," funded under the Interreg Italy-Slovenia Cross-Border Program, with the aim of "building intercultural and economic bridges through stuffed pasta." The Alpine city hosted various stakeholders, including Slovenian and Italian pasta producers, breeders, associations and marketing bodies, alternating between project meetings, training and institutional moments. Cjarsons and Idriskij Zlikrofi are the two typical products (two different but similar types of stuffed pasta) that act as a trait-d'union in a project that would like to create a local and international "Stuffed Pasta Community" in order to enhance and spread the knowledge of these traditional products. The project includes a series of other events, including participation in food and wine events such as "Friuli Doc" or "Gusti di Frontiera," to facilitate the exchange of best practices, increase visibility and spread knowledge of Zlikrofi and Cjarsons beyond their territories of origin. Characteristic element of the project will be a "Food Trailer," which is a van for serving these products that will be present at food and wine events in the two areas. (ANSA).
