Italian cuisine is one of the oldest and most revered in the world and some of the dishes we enjoy today, such as polenta, remain almost unchanged compared to the time when they were originally prepared for Roman soldiers some 2000 years ago. Originally brought from the Americas by European explorers, tomatoes – tomatoes or ‘golden apples’ were a source of prosperity in the Italian climate and quickly flourished to become a common and very vital ingredient in the daily meals cooked by Italians.
