’ hind the nationally-acclaimed - LaLocandarestaurantinGis- burn are spearheading a drive to open up new markets for Lanc^hirefoodproducersin theirnativecountry. '
Maurizio and Cinzia Bocchi havebegunacampaigntohigh-
lightthe merits of the county’s rural food producers among top chefs in Italy. " The couple, whose Ribble Valley restaurant has won a
. hostofmajorawards, are bring ing chefs and Italian food pro
ducers to the North-West this summer for a special confer
ence thatwillhighlightthebest ofLancashire.
' . And they have already be
gun sending rural Lancashire produce to Italy forchefs toex- perience and experiment with in their kitchens.
,: ,, La Locanda, which was vot ed the best Italian restaurant in the UK two years ago and is holder of a coveted Taste Lan cashire Highest Quality As sured Award, sources food from across Lancashire - but' particularly from rural food producers within a five-mile radius.' The couple import the best
Italian products into Lanca shire to create an authentic, cuisine. However, local Lan cashire produce also features heavily in IWaurizio’s menus.
Hebelievesitisthebestofboth worlds.
; ; And the idea that small fam- ily-basedfoodproducersinru-" r^ Lancashire and Italy can all benefit from the link-up is be hind the newprojecL-
3 Cinzia said: “We produce
Italian dishes from what is available to us locally and we ■
source the finest Italian prod-: ucts from over there. It’sagood combination. We promote the excellence of Italian produce 3
: here, so it makes sense to us to do the same for quality rural Lancashire food in Italy. “We have built up good,
strong relationships with pro ducers here and we are work- ingtoinvolvetheminsending' out their quality food to our ■ contacts in Italy. In these eco nomic times every outlet they; can create is important. . ; . ' , “We’re getting really good, 3
encouraging feedback from v our contacts in Italy and we are hoping to build on this, opening up new markets for rural Lan cashire food producers over there.”
. La Locanda’s meat: is
sourced from the acclaimed Gazegill Organic Farm in near by Rimington andits produce was the subject of a speciai
“tasting menu” held at the res- taurantlastweek. ■ Poultry comes from John
son and Swarbrick in Goo- .snargh; game is sourced from
■; Ian Scott in West Marton; and dairy products come from Frankland Farm in Gisburn. ■'./As part of the initiative, an
_ Italian chefhas already been in troduced to rural Lancashire-
■ produced Crossmoor Honey. 3 As well as being an ac claimed chef, Maurizio has 20 years’ of farming experience in his,own country, which : gives him added knowledge
■ about quality food produc tion. He works closely with Ian,
,0 ’ReillyandEmmaRobinsonat Gazegill Organic Farm. ‘ MaurizioandCinziamoved
to rural Lancashire from the Lake Maggiore region of ita-, ly, on the Swiss border ,and , opened their restaurant busi- ness almost a decade ago. 3:- . Former accountant Cinzia,

. . She said: “We believe in small family producers and .
: this is aU about promoting and showcasing excellence.” . As well as the two-day con
ference in June, which has al ready attracted a top guest-list including a two-star Michelin: chef, the couple are looking to
Maunzio Bocchi (left), of La Locanda, with Emma Rohinson and Ian O’Reilly (s)
work with Lancashire cater ing colleges. They aim to set up a competition to encourage the chefs of the future to create traditional local dishes with an
Italian twist-usingextra virgin oliveoil. . The couple are also part
of an Italian Ministry of Agri culture project to help raise awareness of olive oil in other
countries. And they are also working with rural Lancashire food producers on a challenge tocreateanewproductthatin- cludes Extra Virgin Olive Oil. ■ Marketing Lancashire i s : working with a range of lo-- cal food businesses to raise the profile of the county’s high quality rural producers through a programme of ac- -
