English beef will be top of the bill at a major Italian show where
England is a special guest country and given extra prominence.
Identitá Golose in Milan includes participation from Heston
Blumenthal, Sat Bains and Shane Osborn.
A technical presentation of the unique features of English beef
will be accompanied by demonstrations by chefs Philip Cranston
and Andrea Berton at a special event at the four-day fair which
starts on January 27.
EBLEX Export Manager Jean-Pierre Garnier, said: "We are extremely
privileged to be given such a high accolade at this prestigious
event.
"Italian journalists and decision-makers will be given a
technical briefing that will include the specific protocols English
producers use for the perfect steak for the Italian market. They
will also be able to sample the product.
"This event is an important step for us to rebuild confidence
in this important market after the 2007 FMD crisis".
* In 2006 46,000 tonnes of fresh and frozen beef was exported
from the UK, of which 3,100 tonnes (6.7%) went to Italy.
