Florentine Herb Seasoning

Florentine cooking is linked to a tradition of simple dishes prepared with genuine, tasty but plain ingredients .  Cereals, bread, vegetable and oil (which must be extra-virgin) are the basis of many recipes.

The area surrounding Florence is famous for being the birthplace of Chianti, the most famous Tuscan wine. Four different types of Chianti are produced from the vines on the flourishing Florentine hills.

Many of Florentine dishes are made with ingredients fresh from markets (or buy directly from farmers) and then focus on straightforward preparation.
