Grape wine

The most famous Italian wine in the world, red wine, was born in Florence. Among them, the classic red wine with black-bone chicken logo is made from grapes in the ancient vineyard between Florence and Siena.

Olives are a specialty of Italy. In Italy, olive trees with smooth leaves can be seen everywhere. The process of oil pressing can be divided into two steps: cold pressing without heating and hot pressing with heating. The quality of "cold pressed" olive oil is certainly better. The best olive oil is unfiltered and a little cloudy.

Tomatoes came from America, but after they settled in Italy, they grew big, red and juicy. Mashed tomatoes mixed with chopped onions and olive oil are often used as seasoning for spaghetti or macaroni.

To tell the truth, the variety of Italian cheese is slightly worse than that of France, and the export volume is not as good as that of the Netherlands, but several kinds of cheese are very famous and essential in western food. The first one is PARMIGIANO, a kind of cheese named after its origin in Parma.

Venice's handmade lace is famous for its exquisite and complicated patterns. It was once famous in Venice and China, but it was once lost.

Now it is mostly sold by hand, and the price is not expensive.
