VILLANOVA MONTELEONE. Breeding and slaughtertwo fundamental aspects of meat production among which to open a channel of discussion to put one in place short quality supply chain that from the countryside, it can reach the consumer without going through large-scale distribution. This is what happened on Friday 28 June Villanova Monteleone during the last appointment with the food days of “Chenamos in carrela” conducted by the expert Thomas Sussarello.
After the mayor’s greetings Quirico Meloni and the president of the Proloco Pietro Timesthe coordinator Sussarello introduced the interventions aimed at a profitable comparison on the activation of a virtuous and collaborative process that accompanies local operators towards a supply chain objective. The breeder Salvatore Meloni he emphasized the fact that Sardinia paradoxically does not close the production cycle, so many Sardinian-born animals for fattening take the road to the continent, where a more structured system guarantees greater remuneration: «It must be said that in this process that we want to try to activate in Villanova, the main theme is to enhance a supply chain that takes into account the characteristics of the territory, therefore the peculiarities of our pastures, which is already an added value appreciated by the consumer».
The butcher Antioco Marras spoke about the importance of promoting these artisan crafts which have been carried on for centuries, and for this reason they need of a specific communication in order to indicate that you are present on the market, which does not at all disdain a short supply chain product. The critical issues, according to Marras, can be overcome by combining a romantic vision with an analytical one, which takes into account what may be the advantages and critical issues to be addressed.
Chef Fabio Zago’s intervention announced a proposal of carefully processed sheep meat in the form of fried meatballs accompanied by a medium-acid sauce. Pork and beef were assembled in a grill sausage with an intense flavor that surprised the tasters.
The evening began at 4pm in the ISOLA spaces, with the inauguration of “Open frames” created in collaboration with the association ArTeswhere those present could try their hand at working on the artisan loom. Late in the evening the younger ones had fun jumping on the “Fogalones di Santu Pedru”, with the entertainment of music and dance of the DJ Franco and Beppe.
