Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö, the Heva project presented in Sweden

After the stop in Madrid, the presentation of the Heva project – “Heroes of Europe: Volcanic Agriculture” reached Sweden in three days – from 3 to 6 October 2022 – intense, participatory and “on the road”, which touched the major cities of the country.

Led by one of the most important Swedish wine & food journalists, Asa Johansson (Apèritif, Decanter, Food & Wine Italia), the Masterclasses were organized in three different locations: the Hotel At Six in Stockholm; the Wine Mechanics urban winery in Gothenburg; and the Folk Mat & Möten congress hall in Malmö.

Excellent participation. Over 100 sommeliers, journalists and professionals in the sector were able to get to know and appreciate the PDO wines and agri-food products born from volcanic terroirs protected by the consortia that adhere to the project: the Italian wine consortia of Soave, Lessini Durello, Union of Santorini Cooperatives – Santo Wines and the Veneto Consortium of Monte Veronese cheese.

The Masterclasses in Sweden are part of the rich training program that Heva dedicates to a professional audience for the promotion and enhancement of the distinctive aspects of products born from volcanic terroirs and marked with European Union protection marks.

In tasting, accompanied by the three types of Monte Veronese DOP cheese (“whole milk”, and “from malga – Slow Food presidium”) were presented:
