Irish food goes down a treat with crowds at Turin slow food festival

IRISH food is going down a treat with the 180,000 visitors attending the five-day Salone del Gusto Slow Food Fair in Turin, Italy.

The feedback has been very positive about the food being served up by the Irish artisans attending the event with Bord Bia.

The Italians and guests of 150 other nationalities have spoken highly of the Irish beef, lamb, salmon, farmhouse cheeses and craft beers. The event runs in parallel with Terra Madre, the world meeting of hundreds of food communities.
