<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Il prestigioso marchio di acque minerali Sangemini rischia il fallimento.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In questi giorni si stanno avvicendando gli incontri tra la proprietà, i sindacati, i vari soggetti interessati a investire nel futuro dell'azienda, come la <a href="http://www.umbria24.it/unicredit-norda-e-tramite-scoprono-le-carte-pronto-il-piano-di-salvataggio-per-sangemini/232492.html" rel="nofollow">cordata formata da Norda-Gaudianiello, Unicredit e Gianantonio Tramet</a>, il broker <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;">che lavora nell’intermediazione in Italia e all’estero con primarie catene distributive di beni di largo consumo, e che potrebbe garantire ai prodotti Sangemini una penetrazione di mercato migliore di quella attuale.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;">Sono giorni concitati, in cui le preoccupazione dei lavoratori e delle loro famiglie si sommano all'apprensione di chi non può altro che assistere a un altro pezzo della nostra povera Italia che traballa sempre di più</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;">Speriamo bene.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;">Perchè abbiamo scritto di questa notizia? Perchè i prodotti alimentari italiani di qualità devono essere preservati, non trascurati.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;">Abbiamo conosciuto di questa oscura vicenda di test del DNA poco attendibili a carico di aziende olivicole come la <a href="https://bastabollette.it/consumatori/olio-pantaleo-test-del-dna-non-verificabile/">Nicola Pantaleo SPA, uno dei produttori italiani di olio di oliva</a> più importanti nel mezzogiorno.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;">Ci auguriamo che possa risolversi rapidamente per restituire credibilità e onestà a chi davvero la merita.</span></span><br />

Un paio di settimane fa, presso l'azienda agricola Di Vaira di Petacciato (CB), ha avuto luogo l' iniziativa "Seminare il Futuro!" sulla scia di un progetto nato in Svizzera nel 2006 per sensibilizzare i consumatori sul tema della provenienza del cibo e del futuro dell'agricoltura.<br />
<br />
Varie piccole aziende italiane di agricoltura biologica hanno invitato le comunità locali a condividere l'esperienza della semina di un campo con del grano antico selezionato.<br />
<br />
Persone di ogni età e interessi, tra cui numerosi bambini, si si sono incontrate in un' occasione festosa per compiere un gesto nello stesso tempo simbolico e concreto, che unisce il cuore alla terra.<br />
Il risultato? Una giornata memorabile di cui potete vedere il mio personale resoconto fotografico qui sopra.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01196088248383867568noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37376107.post-72647240609399997642010-11-04T11:14:00.002+01:002010-11-04T11:14:32.015+01:00Il candidato governatore di New York è molisano.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><a href="http://michelevitale.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/nyt.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://michelevitale.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/nyt.jpg" style="cursor: move;" width="290" /></a></div><div style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1em; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

Then, there was this interview with an exultant top-manager of a food industry association (I believe it was Coldiretti) who said something like" I would like to reassure the people at home that prices will not go up for the moment: the fruit and vegetetables they are eating come from our refrigerated stocks".<br /><br /><br />I wonder whether he was more exultant because the prices would not go up or because the Industry succeed in fooling to pay as "fresh" produce which have been picked up weeks ago.... :-(<br /><br />And, to my international reader: Be aware this is not an italian thing, it affects the food chain worldwide, where the Industry rules and decides what is fresh, what is not, and what should arrive to our table: if you don't believe me, I suggest you to watch this movie: <a href="http://www.foodincmovie.com/">Food Inc.</a> But be careful: after watching it, you may not want to go to the supermarket anymore...<br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 16px;"><div><span style="color:#006600;"><br />L'altro giorno ascoltavo il telegiornale a proposito dell'ondata di maltempo, che stava arrecando gravi danni al raccolto agricolo e che minacciava di far lievitare i prezzi al consumo. Quindi hanno intervistato il rappresentante di una grossa associazione (penso fosse Coldiretti) che, esultante, diceva qualcosa del tipo: "vorrei tranquillizzare le famiglie a casa sul fatto che i prezzi non saliranno per il momento: la<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="il" style="background-color: rgb(222, 202, 255);">frutta</span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>e verdura che acquistano al supermercato oggi, infatti, e quella proveniente dalle nostre celle frigorifere".</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#006600;">Mi domando: il rappresentante esultava più per il fatto che i prezzi non sarebbero aumentati o perchè l'Industria riesce a propinarci come "fresche"<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="il" style="background-color: rgb(222, 202, 255);">frutta</span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>e verdura colta settimane fa? :-(</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#006600;">E, putroppo, questa non è una situazione solo italiana. Ormai in tutto il mondo è l'Industria a decidere cosa è fresco e cosa no, cosa deve arrivare sui nostri tavoli e cosa restarne fuori.

It’s an interview of Janine Foppes, a brave Dutch lady who opened a B&B in a small village in Molise (Ripabottoni) which didn’t know what a B&B ( and a tourist) was before hers.</p> <p>You can read the full article <a href="http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A//www.primonumero.it/attualita/primopiano/articolo.php%3Fid%3D5814&hl=it&langpair=auto%7Cen&tbb=1&ie=ISO-8859-1">(automatically translated in English) here</a>.</p> <p>I just want to quote here a brief part of her interview:</p> <p><strong>Janine</strong>: “In <a href="http://www.provincia.campobasso.it/ambiente/banca_dati/imm_comuni/ripabottoni.jpg">Ripabottoni</a> – a small village with a population of 673- at least 10 Dutch families bought a house. Some of them already requested the residency”</p> <p><strong>Journalist</strong>: “But what the hell they do here (in such small insignificant village)"?</p> <p><strong>Janine</strong>: “They relax in their homes, the sometimes go the the beach (preferably not in summer), read, make long walks in the nature, get acquainted with the locals, becoming their good friends. This is the right place to live, not just for holiday.”</p><p>P.s.

Si tratta di un intevista a Janine Foppes, coraggiosa signora olandese che ha aperto un B&B in un piccolo paesino molisano (Ripabottoni) che non sapeva cosa fosse il turismo, fino a qualche anno fa.</span></p> <p><span style="color:#008040;">Qui è possibile leggere </span><a href="http://www.primonumero.it/attualita/primopiano/articolo.php?id=5814"><span style="color:#008040;">l’articolo per intero</span></a></p> <p><b></b><span style="color:#008040;">Voglio riportare qui solo un breve brano dell’intervista.</span></p> <p><span style="color:#008040;"><strong>Domanda:</strong> “Un progetto insolito per il Molise terremotato e spopolato. Funziona, la sua attività?”</span></p> <p><span style="color:#008040;"><b><span style="color:#000000;">Risposta</span>: “</b>Per il momento funziona bene. Da maggio a ottobre sono sempre piena di ospiti. Arrivano olandesi che vogliono scoprire la bellezza di questi luoghi, canadesi, svedesi, ma anche emigranti partiti da qui tanti anni fa che tornano d’estate e cercano un posto dove soggiornare. Qui è bello, c’è tutto lo spazio che si desidera, quella tranquillità che per esempio in Olanda manca. Lì c’è troppa gente che vive in spazi ridotti, così si ha sempre la sensazione di soffocare. Qui invece la vita è serena, il tempo batte al ritmo del cuore.”</span></p> <p><span style="color:#008040;">P.S. Per gli imprenditori: ho contatti con questi olandesi (in Italia e Olanda) da oltre tre anni. Ne ho portati in Molise (e aiutato) parecchi. Se qualcuno ha bisogno del mio aiuto per proporre servizi e prodotti agli amici olandesi, io <a href="mailto:quarantavitale@gmail.com">sono qui</a>.</span></p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01196088248383867568noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37376107.post-11672022377682359302009-10-31T17:25:00.003+01:002009-10-31T17:53:07.528+01:00Come (spero pochi) olandesi vedono noi italiani.

The news service was aired yesterday by by TG3 Molise (the local division of RAI National TV).</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">It follows an </span><a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" href="http://aadimolise.blogspot.com/2009/10/north-european-moving-to-live-in-quiet.html">article published a few weeks ago</a><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> by the weekly magazine of Corriere della Sera (the Italian most important newspaper)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> When I watch it, it gives me mixed feelings. </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">On the one hand I am pleased: over the past four years I dedicated </span><a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" href="http://aadimolise.blogspot.com/2009/02/il-molise-incanta-amsterdam_04.html">a lot of efforts</a><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> promoting Molise in Holland and Holland in Molise. The fact that now this phenomenon is deemed worthy of attention by maintream media (and the TG3 and Corriere della Sera are pretty much mainstream) is a sign that at last here in Molise, someone is starting to notice the phenomenon. Even though "only" 10 years after the first families have bought their house here.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">On the other side I am disappointed. How on earth is it possible that 10 years and tens of millions of euros invested by these Dutch families in our rural villages have not been enough to draw the attention of even one of our local building entrepreneurs from their conformist sleep (during all these years they all have been producing just... concrete, basically)?</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> And this is even more disappointing because the building industry in Molise is one of the few thriving ones (perhaps the only).</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> In other words, we had the luck to assist to this spontaneous positive form of investment by Dutch people who buy and recover remains in our inner villages (which otherwise would be doomed to abandonment) and we do nothing.

E questo è un bene, per tutti noi.<br />Dall'altro lato sono amareggiato: possibile che 10 anni e decine di milioni di euro investiti da questi olandesi nei nostri borghi non sono stati sufficenti a far svegliare nemmeno uno degli imrenditori nostrani dal torpore conformistico (cemento, cemento, cemento!) cui sono costretti?<br />E dire che quella edile in Molise è una delle poche industrie fiorenti (forse l'unica) : potremmo forse dimenticare i virtuosismi espressi dall'industria edile a San Giuliano di Puglia? O il lucroso fermento edilizio di Termoli?<br />Insomma: abbiamo olandesi che girano nei nostri paesini e recuperano in maniera straordinaria ruderi destinati all'abbandono (spesso anche guadagnandoci, e vendendo servizi e consulenze), restituendo vita a graziosi paesini che altrimenti sarebbero destinati a morte certa e noi lasciamo fare così, con indifferenza.<br />Poi, un giorno, constateremo che qualche imprenditore un pò più acculturato, magari straniero, si comprerà un paese intero, e lo trasformerà una straordinaria opportunità di investimento, come del resto è già successo a <a href="http://www.appenninik.com/luoghi/luomo-che-rifa-i-vecchi-paesi-santo-stefano-di-sessanio">Santo Stefano di Sessanio</a> o a <a href="http://www.sassiweb.it/news/archivio-news/dettaglio-articolo/article/sextantio-albergo-diffuso-nei-sassi/">Matera</a>.<br />E noi molisani staremo a guardare, stavolta un pò meno indifferenti, e un pò più invidiosi.<br /></div></span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01196088248383867568noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37376107.post-45396095322731539282009-10-10T17:54:00.013+02:002009-10-14T21:13:10.583+02:00The line between good and bad business behaviour - Affari buoni e affari cattivi<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_lKYJhv7i76GzR79nl5MbD3UQtlsxieuIVRicMRsCWmQZ-0AOvLeXdlJoHnK2JQCWeSXIPxhtIFGN4oBLWclj5HxdUfx8R9rJscC5qYlENesAsqzbXbLKaNXvontbg53uXjVs/s1600-h/arket.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_lKYJhv7i76GzR79nl5MbD3UQtlsxieuIVRicMRsCWmQZ-0AOvLeXdlJoHnK2JQCWeSXIPxhtIFGN4oBLWclj5HxdUfx8R9rJscC5qYlENesAsqzbXbLKaNXvontbg53uXjVs/s400/arket.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391623091600881938" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">(italiano più sotto)</span><br /><br />My friend and business partner Francesco, a local olive oil and cheese maker, started a few days ago harvesting of his olive trees.<br />He talks about this in his last post (you can read it <a href="http://parcodeibuoi.com/2009/10/inizia-la-raccolta-delle-olive-annata-difficile.html">here in Italian</a> and here in <a href="http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A//parcodeibuoi.com/2009/10/inizia-la-raccolta-delle-olive-annata-difficile.html&hl=it&langpair=auto%7Cen&tbb=1&ie=UTF-8">English automatic translation</a>), saying straight (without hiding) that the harvest this year will have problems: part of the trees took a disease, due to the particular climatic condition of this summer, which will eventually lower the quantity and slightly alter the flavour of his product (though not substantially).<br />Now I will explain why, in my opinion, this post is good news and not bad news.<br />Think about it yourself, why should Francesco be so CRAZY to tell you (his potential customer) about the problems of his oil?<br />Well, my answer is because he's different, like his oil.<br />Almost nobody out there is telling you the truth. Maybe other producers' trees can't get diseases? Maybe their product is always good and has the same flavour each year?<br />Well, it may be so, but certainly not for "natural" reasons...<br />Otherwise, we could not explain incredible discoveries between the shelves of our supermarket like <a href="http://aadimolise.blogspot.com/2009/09/lies-hiding-under-labels-of-extravirgin.html">these </a>and <a href="http://aadimolise.blogspot.com/2009/09/lies-under-labels-of-olive-oil-2.html">these</a>.<br />Francesco is different because he puts his face in his business and tells and show you straight (<a href="http://parcodeibuoi.com/">in his blog</a>) what making olive oil truly means, good and the bad.<br /><br />The thing is, when we go after buying an olive oil bottle, maybe heavily advertised on TV as "perfect, delicious, genuine", we want to know who's behind that label.<br />Because there are few who are telling the truth, and whom we can trust.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">Update 14 october 2009</span>: Paul, a Dutch importer, wrote this insightful comment to my post:<br /><br /><div style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">I like your blog but...</span></div> <div style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">The information from this English consumer test is what <span class="il">you</span> can expect from average consumers.

Because the results prove that we consumers are subject to a serious scam.<br />The scam is organized by the biggest (in quantity) olive oil producers and consists, basically, in lying to the consumers. In saying that the oil is Italian when it's not. In saying that the oil is extravirgin when it's only virgin or less, in telling them that it's valuable (because it has a high price tag) when, in reality, its value it's less than other far cheaper and better competitors.<br />All this scam has been unveiled by the results of the Which? magazine, which were published also by the<a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/news/want-the-best-olive-oil-then-save-yourself-some-money-1758556.html"> other English magazines</a> (but not, surprisingly, by the Italian press).<br />A blind tasting by a panel of olive oil experts found that cheap bottles sold in hard discounts were better (and far cheaper) than those at the most pricey and acclaimed supermarkets.<br /><br />The consumer group described the hard discount oils as 'exceptional value', each receiving four stars.<br /><br />Other supermarket and branded extra-virgin oils were disappointing, with lower ratings (but higher price).<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Which?</span> magazine said: "You don't have to dig deep in your wallet to get good quality. Of the 12 supermarket and branded extra virgin olive oils our experts tasted, two of our best buys are from budget supermarkets and, per 100ml, they're by far the cheapest on test - giving them both 'exceptional value'."<br /><br />The consumer group added that, no matter how good an oil, it had to be stored in a cool, dark place to avoid losing its freshness.<br />Among their less favoured bottles, Carapelli's oil tasted of "stale nuts", despite costing 84p per 100ml (the costliest of the group).<br />Now comes the sad part. You may think that Carapelli is Italian, right? Because the name is Italian, and the brand reads "Carapelli Firenze".<br />And come on there is this ad :<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikgyslLFm8YQkZLB1P83sk2ieVGXitcoA75LZ3x5CW7tQ84xzZFl8aaBDXyPHxlbdTKt9-0DL8Hxs1oBV6Sy2kqCNzmGItV9fwNCJImZj-8wl-KVhWOLCGyeGYe2U2yP8I6z1s/s1600-h/carapelli2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 280px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikgyslLFm8YQkZLB1P83sk2ieVGXitcoA75LZ3x5CW7tQ84xzZFl8aaBDXyPHxlbdTKt9-0DL8Hxs1oBV6Sy2kqCNzmGItV9fwNCJImZj-8wl-KVhWOLCGyeGYe2U2yP8I6z1s/s400/carapelli2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381295648923059762" border="0" /></a><br />which <span style="font-style: italic;">looks</span> definitely Italian!!!!!<br /><br />Well, the ad may look Italian but Carapelli is not! Carapelli was bought by the Spanish multinational SOS Cuertara which also bought Dante and Sasso (formerly Italian brands). And it is known, among the experts (but not the consumers! and how could they know with ads like that and lying labels...) that Carapelli has only a small percentage of Italian olives in his blend.<br /><br />This situation is a real pain not only for the entire Italian food industry, but also, more sadly, for the honest and extraordinary Italian farmers who produce a really excellent olive oil. They are often forced to sell below cost their oil, because of the commercial power of mulinational brands and mass distribution organizations. Even worse,they may be forced to sell or close their activity.<br /><br />This issue has been extensively investigated in the past by other journalists, like <a href="http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2007/08/13/070813fa_fact_mueller?currentPage=1">Tom Mueller of the New Yorker</a>. He's writing also a book on the subject. The title? “Extra Virginity: A Cultural and Criminal History of Olive Oil”. :-(<br /><br />My personal reaction and suggestion to this scam is: don't trust the ads, because people who make them doesn't deserve your trust (and money). Do trust the people you know or that you may know and buy from them.<br />If you don't have the luck to live near them, well use the internet!! There are <a href="http://risozaccaria.com/">more</a> and more <a href="http://parcodeibuoi.com/">farmers</a> who tell online their life and the true way they work and who sell online, now.<br />Who needs the supermarkets any more?! :-)<br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">source: Gianna Ferretti's <a href="http://trashfood.com/">trashfood blog</a>.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01196088248383867568noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37376107.post-45805784030989382912009-09-09T00:18:00.004+02:002009-09-09T00:35:48.354+02:00My beautiful home land: Molise<a title="View MOLISE on Scribd" href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/19547502/MOLISE" style="margin: 12px auto 6px auto; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; -x-system-font: none; display: block; text-decoration: underline;">MOLISE</a> <object codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0" id="doc_350285512285809" name="doc_350285512285809" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" align="middle" height="500" width="100%" > <param name="movie" value="http://d1.scribdassets.com/ScribdViewer.swf?document_id=19547502&access_key=key-1lxetg9g0diacgkd48w4&page=1&version=1&viewMode="> <param name="quality" value="high"> <param name="play" value="true"> <param name="loop" value="true"> <param name="scale" value="showall"> <param name="wmode" value="opaque"> <param name="devicefont" value="false"> <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff"> <param name="menu" value="true"> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"> <param name="salign" value=""> <embed src="http://d1.scribdassets.com/ScribdViewer.swf?document_id=19547502&access_key=key-1lxetg9g0diacgkd48w4&page=1&version=1&viewMode=" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" play="true" loop="true" scale="showall" wmode="opaque" devicefont="false" bgcolor="#ffffff" name="doc_350285512285809_object" menu="true" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" salign="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" align="middle" height="500" width="100%"></embed> </object><br /><br />Recently another positive, beautiful article about our small region Molise was published by a Dutch magazine (Smaak van Italie - the Taste of Italy).<br />You can enjoy the beautiful pictures in it (if not the content of the article, which is written in the fascinating yet misterious Dutch language) here below.
