How 19 Traditional Italian Foods Are Made | Regional Eats | Insider Food

When I visited Italy, I FELT like I ate like a pig. However, I LOST so much weight! I had wine daily and NEVER got drunk or got a headache like I always do in the U.S. I literally would move there for the food and friendly smiles alone. I love their culture so much. I had the best time. 👌🏾

This is my 2AM thing whenever I can't sleep. But I always end up starving.

True artisans in everything they do. That's what makes Italian products so special. The care in production shows.❤

Got to say Italians have a deep appreciation for food and they are amazing at preparing it

Wow this was incredible to see all these foods get made in such a traditional way! We love Italian food and can't wait to go back to Italy someday. Thanks for such a great video!

I love tomatoes so my mouth was watering watching the sauce being made. That sauce looked fantastic - such a beautiful color and I’m sure it tasted fantastic. So interesting to see it made from scratch.

I remember every late August my dad would clean out the garden and also bring home 3 bushels from the neighbors farm and he mom and I would start the process.. I can still smell the tomatoes cooking and him always reminding me “Don’t let the machine run dry!!!” 60 years later, I still have his machine, but unfortunately haven’t used it in years 🙏🙏🙏 just like they’re doing it! We’d put up 50+ quarts.

It’s sad to see traditional methods such as these become a thing of the past :( and it makes me love the people like Isabella and her family keeping these traditions alive for as long as they have

That old lady, making the tomato sauce, being 81 and walking around like someone in their 50's, strong like an ox. Must be all that tomatoes.

While there are some commonalities, every Italian family I know swears by their homemade sauce and makes it a bit differently. As soon as she added sugar and left out the garlic, I could hear my grandmother make that derisive noise all Italian grandmothers make at new cooks: you left out an essential ingredient/step. We leave bigger chunks of tomato pulp, use garlic and olive oil, tomato paste as well as fresh tomatoes (skinned) salt, basil AND a touch of fresh parsley and oregano, a pinch of red pepper and then time in the big cast iron pan. Yes, we do pass down equipment - my daughter uses some tools passed down from my great grandmother. Whatever recipe you use, the freshest ingredients and family traditions make the best sauce!

Don't know how I found myself here but it was such a great watch

I’m from south Italy and my grandparents used to make their own tomato sauce and also olive oil ❤ rn they’re too old to do that but these are amazing memories

Italians do everything right related to food.

I’m Vietnamese but the Italia tomato sauce is very delicious to my taste. I think I must trust this way of making it soon. It looks so good.

The tomato sauce makes me wanna learn Italian and find a wife over there.

All the food look tasty. I felt like I’m already in Italy just by watching this video! Would love to visit Italy one day!

The clipping of the ends of some words just reminds me of my nonna and her very Neapolitan accent ❤

Ivan with his Focaccia made me drool
