October and the flavours of autumn: warm colours, intense aromas and authentic taste
A journey through the pleasures of the autumn table, among chestnuts, pumpkins and Borgo Balsamic Vinegar
With the arrival of October, nature is transformed: the colours turn warm, the days grow shorter and the scents of autumn begin to fill the kitchens. It is the month of leaves crunching underfoot, of the lit fireplacesbut especially of the heart-warming dishes.
Autumn is a season that invites us to slow down and rediscover genuine flavours, those linked to the land and tradition. And it is precisely in this period that certain ingredients find their perfect moment to shine on the table.
The protagonists of autumn
The pumpkin
Sweet, creamy, versatile. The queen of autumn, pumpkin is perfect for soups, risottos, savoury pies and gnocchi. Try it in combination with a few drops of Balsamic Vinegar of Borgowhich enhances its sweetness and provides a perfect balance.
Gourmet idea:
Pumpkin soup with rustic bread croutons, black pepper and a drizzle of Delicate seasoning of Borgo.
Chestnuts
Roasted, boiled, turned into flour or combined with savoury dishes: chestnuts tell ancient stories. Perfect with mature cheeses and cured meats, they can also become the secret ingredient for autumn desserts or meat dishes.
Gourmet idea:
Duck breast with chestnut sauce and reduction of Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Reggio Emilia
Musts and grapes
October is also the month of the grape harvest. The aroma of must invades the countryside and can be found in the most iconic products of our tradition: balsamic vinegar, which is the result of a long process starting with cooked grape must.
A good balsamic, such as those of Borgo, embodies all the soul of autumn: sweetness, acidity, intensity and slowness.
