In Italy, eating seasonally is quintessential. From the hills of Tuscany to Rome’s bustling markets, this culinary tradition is embraced. It’s not just about choosing fruits and veggies in season. It’s a way of life that connects people to their environment and celebrates each season’s bounty.

In spring, Italians await fresh asparagus, artichokes, and fava beans. These feature in dishes such as risotto primavera and pasta with seasonal veggies. Every bite savors the flavors, knowing they’ll soon make way for new ones.
