History, tradition and origin

Italian cooking is regional. Until the country was unified in 1861, each area cooked with what grew nearby: olive oil, tomatoes and eggplant in the south, butter, rice and veal in the north. Many famous dishes are simple and depend on a few good ingredients. Breaded cutlets under tomato and cheese are an Italian-American development.

Food economy and industry

Italian food exports, including cheese, cured ham, olive oil, canned tomatoes and wine, are worth tens of billions of euros a year. Many products carry protected regional names with strict rules on where and how they are made. Family-run farms and small producers remain central, alongside a large agritourism trade.
