The television program "Guess who's coming to dinner", broadcast on 1 June, sees the journalist Sabrina Giannini driving ainvestigation on the real dynamics of the “Made in Italy” brand.
In this episode, entitled "There is no peace among the olive trees", Giannini and his team embark on a research that questions the political promises in favor of this brand, often denied by reality.
The truth behind olive oil
One of the main topics covered during the episode is olive oil, a fundamental component of the Mediterranean diet.
As Giannini points out, a quality olive oil it should have a bitter and/or spicy aftertaste.
The introduction of different oils into the Mediterranean diet has clouded the ability of consumers to recognize these characteristics.
A leap to Germany to discover the Mozzarella from beyond the Alps
The investigation of the program is not limited to olive oil, but also extends to other agri-food products considered pillars of Made in Italy, such as fruit, milk and its derivatives.
To shed light on these issues, Giannini visits the Jager dairy, the oldest in Germany.
This historic dairy, located in the heart of Bavaria, produces a million bites of mozzarella a day, a third of which ends up on the Italian market.
Careful reading of food labels, which must indicate the place of production, thus becomes a key element for the consumer.
The delicate issue of Food Labels
The broadcast will reveal how some Italian companies resort to deceptive strategies, using curds of German origin to produce cheese in our country.
By doing so, they can legally affix the Made in Italy brand on the labels, despite the foreign origin of the basic product.
