Internationally acclaimed chef Bruno Barbieri in Malta RENOWNED chef Bruno Barbie- ri was in Malta earlier this week on a f lying visit to give his seal of approval to a new Italian food market Upper Food which will open shortly in Malta. Bruno Barbieri who is from one of Ita- ly's gastronomical capitals, Bolo- gna, has received seven Michelin stars over the years and is one of the main judges on Italy's Master Chef. The UPPER FOOD concept was conceived by two Italian en- trepreneurs, Giovanni Dato and Fabrizio Crimi, who have both based their lives in Malta. As successful businessmen in vari- ous fields including the commer- cial, financial and food sectors, both bring different skillsets and experience to this new joint venture. Their goal was to bring back that small food store which was a quintessential part of any village core while providing ar- tisan high quality Italian prod- ucts at reasonable prices and in season. While food has become another global commodity with anything available at any time, UpperFood is taking food back to its basic genuine seasonality and will offer products accord- ing to their seasonality bringing food back to its purest form. This is a recurring theme throughout the store and the products it of- fers and one that Chef Barbieri wholeheartedly supports. "Barbieri knows good food and is often referred to as a culinary walking library so vast is his knowledge on the subject. "said Fabrizio, " so inviting him to our store made sense and his seal of approval confirms the authen- ticity of what we set out to creat- ed. We are delighted that he took time out of his busy life to come over to help us do this." Giovanni and Fabrizio have set out to offer the Maltese an Ital- ian culinary experience that is simply authentic, playing on the nostalgic sense of the local bot- tegha style village store. According to Fabrizio the deci- sion to open the first Upper Food specifically in Malta was born of years of living here and under- standing and recognizing the ap- peal that Italy and its cuisine has among the Maltese. With plans to expand the brand overseas it also made sense to use Malta as a testing market. There is also talk to establish a more perma- nent relationship with Chef Bar- bieri in order to involve him in further projects which could see him visit Malta more regularly. All products are conceived, produced and packed in Italy and Giovanni and Fabrizio have literally scoured their country from top to bottom in order to source the best artisan food and wines which will undoubtedly convey that unique Italian taste. And in doing so they have cre- ated a little Italy in the heart of tal-Ibragg. UpperFoods will be open for business just in time for Christmas so make sure you in- clude it in your Christmas shop- ping.
