The latest episode of "Linea Verde", broadcast on Sunday 28 April, was entirely dedicated to the splendid Liguria. Rai 1 hit the mark with an episode that captured the essence of Genoa and its gastronomic delicacies, transporting us through breathtaking landscapes and ancient culinary traditions.
The adventure began in the charming village of Boccadasse, where the scent of Genoese basil DOP and the famous Pesto Genovese enchanted the senses of viewers. An expert in the sector could not be missing: Roberto Panizza, founder of the World Championship of Pesto Genovese with Mortar, led a spectacular pesto with mortar competition between the hosts Peppone Calabrese, Livio Beshir and Margherita Granbassi. A masterful demonstration of how a love for culinary authenticity can transform a simple dish into a work of gastronomic art.
The experience was not limited to pesto. Linea Verde delved into the laboratory of the company Rossi 1947, where the fresh artisanal Pesto Genovese comes to life, offering a taste of tradition and mastery. It is no coincidence that its fresh pesto was declared by Gambero Rosso "Best Fresh Pesto Genovese".
