How to Find Authentic Made in Italy Foods

The EU has implemented a regional designation scheme for protected foods all over Europe – making it easy to find and identify authentic Italian foods based not only on their country of origin – but often their region as well. Looking for certified products ensures you’re selecting authentic Italian made food – for the best, most true to Italy flavor, no matter where in the world you are

To Make Easy Skillet Balsamic Chicken You Need:

Cilento PDO extra virgin olive oil

Cilento PDO extra virgin olive oil is a Mediterranean product of excellence, produced in the Campania region, in Southern Italy. It’s obtained from the Pisciottana, Rotondella, Ogliarola or Uogliarola, Frantoio, Salella and Leccino varieties of olives, which must come from mixed or single variety olive orchards in quantities of no less than 85%. The remaining 15% can be made up of other olives from the same area.

Parmigiano Reggiano PDO is produced with raw cow’s milk. It’s a cooked and un-pressed hard cheese, known as the “King of Cheeses” thanks to its qualities.

Type of Milk: Cow. Production Area:  It is first of all a microbiological characteristic that links Parmigiano Reggiano PDO cheese to its area of origin. Namely, Parmigiano Reggiano PDO is exclusively produced with local raw milk. This is a special milk, characterized by the unique and intense bacterial activity of the indigenous microbial flora. The entire production of Parmigiano Reggiano PDO is placed in the fertile countryside stretching from the Apennines to the river Po.

How to Keep Chicken From Drying Out

If you’re wondering how to keep chicken breasts from drying out when cooking, I have some easy tips and tricks to keep your chicken full of juicy flavor.

• Marinate chicken.
  • Marinating chicken with a bit of olive oil, salt, pepper, and lemon juice for 30 minutes – 24 hours helps make chicken more tender and flavorful and helps to keep chicken from drying out.
• Pre sear chicken.
  • To lock in your chicken’s flavor, sear well before adding sauce or vegetables so it can crisp up for a delicious crispy crunch.
• Don’t crowd the pan.
  • Chicken cooks best hot and fast – with plenty of room to cook evenly. Don’t crowd the pan for best results when cooking chicken on the stovetop.
• Don’t overcook.
  • Use a digital meat thermometer to monitor your chicken as it cooks. Since chicken breast sizes can vary wildly, it is best to go by temperature instead of time when cooking chicken breasts.
