Art in cuisine & cuisine in art.

Sarche di Madruzzo ““ Hosteria Toblino has restarted in this 2021 with lots of energy, lots of ideas and lots of projects. Among these, an important project that manages to combine cuisine and art.

“The union between art and cuisine is inseparable, a chef is a kitchen artist who knows how to dose color giving unique touches to his canvas.”

This is the thought of Chef Sebastian Sartorelli of Hosteria Toblino, now an institution of Trentino cuisine located right in the heart of the splendid Valle dei Laghi. A kitchen in which the young chef manages to combine energy, passion and creative flair to bring out the best of excellent local products such as lake fish, mushrooms, polenta, potatoes, salted meat…

Sebastian is a chef-artist who, in addition to creating dishes with a great visual impact, expresses his creativity in painting, a painting made of touches or rather, drops of color that fall spontaneously, are thrown or stained on the canvas.

The inspiration is the pictorial technique of “dripping”, used by the American avant-gardes whose greatest exponent was certainly Jackson Pollock. A real exaltation of the energy of the moment, of the vibrations of space-time. Unconditional, spontaneous gestures that tell who we are, our feelings, our sensations.

The chef-artist becomes an integral part of the work. The painting is not a simple image, it is an event that can appear simple or complex depending on who stops to observe it.

“An energy that does not end in the canvas but enters into symbiosis with the observer, in our case also taster of the dishes, real works of art prepared by the chef.”

A project, an idea that combines cuisine and art, which have always been linked by an almost transcendent and indissoluble force. Art in cuisine & cuisine in art.

Tempera, sometimes food painting, also a direct involvement of the guests of Hosteria Toblino during exuberant themed evenings where each of the guests can leave their own personal indelible memory on the canvas.

2020 was certainly a difficult year for everyone. Cantina Toblino is a cooperative that has its roots in the production and enhancement of wines well aware of its responsibility in guaranteeing the well-being of the territorial community. Always in compliance with the rules imposed at national and local level, the well-known reality of the Valle dei Laghi has never been discouraged by events, relaunching and guaranteeing its customers high-level products and services also through its own Hosteria Toblino.

Under the guidance of Franco Zanella (pictured), director of Hosteria Toblino, this reality located in the heart of the Valle dei Laghi has now become a reference point for Trentino food and wine. In fact, 2020 ended with numerous awards obtained this year by both Cantina Toblino for its excellent wines, obtaining the major awards from Gambero Rosso, Slow Wine, Ais Vitae, Vini Buoni d’Italia, Veronelli, Wine Hunter Awards, James Suckling , Decanter, both by Hosteria Toblino included in the prestigious Michelin Guide Italy 2021, Italian Restaurants and Italian Wine Shops by Gambero Rosso, Il Golosario by Paolo Massobrio.

Recently Sebastian Sartorelli (in the photo below), chef of Hosteria Toblino, also appeared in some TV programs distributed on the main Italian television networks such as Melaverde during a special dedicated to oil from Garda and another splendid reality della Valle dei Laghi such as Maso Botes and Cuochi d’Italia – The Trophy of the Regions representing the traditional cuisine of Trentino-Alto Adige. With the aim of continuing a process of growth and enhancement that has been underway for several years, Hosteria Toblino looks forward to 2021 that has just begun with great hope. After a period of forced stop during the Christmas holidays, Hosteria Toblino reopens its doors to its customers on Tuesday 12 January from 12 to 14.30.

Chef Sebastian Sartorelli and Franco Zanella take the opportunity to inaugurate the new winter menu: a creative menu with typically Trentino flavors combined with elegant glasses of wine that we invite you to discover as soon as possible and that we are sure will be able to surprise even the most demanding palates.

Not everyone knows this, but Chef Sebastian Sartorelli, in addition to being an established chef in the Trentino landscape, is a well-rounded artist who also delights on canvas in his spare time. This winter menu was in fact decorated with reproductions of some of his works made with the dripping technique, which allows the artist to capture the energy of the moment and feel part of the work. According to the regulations in force, for now the restaurant will be open only for lunch from Tuesday to Friday from 12 to 14.30.

Cantina Toblino, Madruzzo 8 Giugno 2020 – The first Digital Cheese Experience which saw the joint participation of Latteria San Pietro, Cantina Toblino e Hosteria Toblino took place on Saturday 6 June 2020 on the Microsoft Teams platform. Thanks to the close partnership with Microsoft Italia within the project “Ambizione Italia” and Si-Net, Latteria San Pietro has involved in this splendid initiative not only Cantina and Hosteria Toblino but also an important audience of Food&Wine Bloggers composed of:

All actively participated in the digital experience, being able to get to know Latteria San Pietro, the production of Grana Padano from the cultivation of stable meadows to the long seasoning process. An unforgettable experience that ended with the creation and tasting of a dish together with the chef Sebastian Sartorelli.

Who said that tradition and innovation don’t go together? Who said that in this historical period people cannot visit and discover Italian dairies?

We are in the high Mantuan plain, precisely in Goito, where the San Pietro Dairy produces over 60,000 forms of Grana Padano per year. Thanks to an innovation process, a peculiarity that has always characterized the company, San Pietro has installed a system of cameras that runs throughout the production chain, from the field to the maturing warehouses.
It is thanks to this technology and the partnership with Microsoft Italy and Si-Net that the first “Digital Cheese Experience” is born. In fact, Microsoft Italy has launched “Ambition for Italy” #DIGITALRESTART “, a storytelling project to tell the excellence of Made-in Italy where craftsmanship blends with digital innovation.

So on Saturday 06 June 2020 at 10.00 am by simply clicking on the link on the dairy’s social media channels, the whole boot can virtually enter the San Pietro dairy, learn about the stable meadows of the Mincio valley, see a tasting di Grana Padano Selection from hay and get to know the reality of Cantina Toblino, partner of Latteria San Pietro.
The tour will include the presentation and demonstration of a recipe by chef Sebastian Sartorelli, from Hosteria Toblino, combined with the “Largiller – Nosiola” wine.

“This event represents the revolution of gastronomic tourism and the presentation of our realities” comments the president of San Pietro Stefano Pezzini “Through this model of
experience even a person on the other side of the world can see the dairy live and taste the product guided by an expert. ”

The event will be attended by 8 food bloggers from various Italian regions who will accompany during the event and show us their interpretation of the recipe by chef Sebastian Sartorelli.
The participants of the event will be involved in some surveys during the 45 minutes of the event.
