    What makes Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PGI so unique?

    Not all balsamic vinegar is created equal—and most people don’t realize there are two protected types. In this episode, we focus on Aceto Balsamico di Modena IGP (Balsamic Vinegar of Modena PGI)—the more widely available, yet often misunderstood version. You’ll learn how it’s made, what the PGI seal really means, and how to spot authentic bottles from the Italian sounding ones. We’ll also explore the best ways to use it and why it deserves more respect than a simple salad dressing.

  4. The Rhythm of Tradition

    25 DE ABR.

    The Rhythm of Tradition

    We explore the surprising connection between two powerful expressions of Italian culture: food and dance. Our guest, Anna Harsh—award-winning choreographer and founder of Allegro Dance Company—has spent her life preserving traditional Italian dances that, like regional recipes, are passed down through generations. We talk about how movement and mealtime often go hand-in-hand at Italian celebrations, how regional cuisine has similarities to dance, and how both food and dance tell stories of heritage, family, and joy. If Italian food feeds the body, traditional dance feeds the soul—and together, they keep the spirit of Italianità alive. Visit the Allegro Dance Company website!
