Welsh Lamb\u00a0was served to a hand-picked party of Italian retailers, distributors,\u00a0processors\u00a0and the British Consul General Kassim Ramji, at a private dinner in Italy last week to coincide with the TuttoFood Milan trade show.<\/p>\n

The lamb was skillfully prepared by\u00a0Michelin Star Carlo Cracco at his restaurant\u00a0in Milan, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II. He created two dishes, rigatoni with smoked butter and PGI Welsh Lamb white ragu, and PGI Welsh Lamb wellington.<\/p>\n

HCC\u2019s representatives in Italy, Anna Garbagna and Sara Castelnuovo said: \u201cThe meeting was aimed at introducing Welsh Lamb to a number of top meat-industry players who could potentially become new clients, further broadening the Italian market for Welsh Lamb, where the product is already widely appreciated.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jason Craig, HCC\u2019s Market Development\u00a0Manager,\u00a0attended the dinner and delivered a speech on the qualities of Welsh Lamb and how it\u2019s produced. He said: \u201cItaly is our largest market outside of the UK\u00a0for branded Welsh Lamb\u00a0and\u00a0is\u00a0vitally important to\u00a0Welsh red meat\u00a0processors.<\/p>\n

\u201cWelsh Lamb\u00a0was\u202fone of\u202fthe first Welsh products\u00a0to receive PGI status more than twenty years ago\u00a0and\u00a0like Italy\u2019s DOP and PGI products, this certification protects\u00a0its\u00a0origin,\u202ftradition\u202fand integrity.\u00a0The Italians\u00a0respect\u00a0the\u00a0simplicity and quality of\u00a0the product,\u00a0one that is a\u00a0true food icon rooted in place.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Italy renowned as one of the world\u2019s greatest culinary nations,\u00a0I was\u00a0immensely proud\u00a0to\u00a0experience the shared enjoyment for Welsh Lamb\u00a0during\u00a0the\u00a0dinner.\u201d<\/p>\n
