A tavola col Daniél

Daniél, the herb of memory

A tavola col Daniél is the food and wine event that the Municipality of Castelnuovo del Garda, in the province of Verona, dedicates throughout the month of May to Daniél, a wild herb typical of the Garda area. Also called erba madre, artemisia, or maresina, it has a unique flavour, between mint and eucalyptus with a bitter note that makes it unmistakable, and is historically linked to spring rituals: it represents a bridge between nature, memory, and conviviality.

A widespread itinerary in the town's eateries

Not an event concentrated in a few days, but a widespread gastronomic itinerary throughout the month, in which the restaurants and eateries of Castelnuovo del Garda offer creative dishes based on Daniél. Among the proposals: the sweet focaccia from Ca' Blanca, the tortellini with Daniél from Osteria da Betty La Bandiera, the artemisia focaccia from Forno di Nereo, the herbal panna cotta with salted caramel from La Meridiana, the artisanal ciabatta from Stuzzico Food Truck, the goat cheese ravioli with butter and lemon from Al Taolon, and the green lasagna with herb powder from Ristorante Pina.

Flavours, territory, and sustainability

The initiative enhances the local cuisine and its roots, while at the same time promoting sustainable tourism in the Veronese Garda area. An opportunity to discover Castelnuovo del Garda through an identity ingredient and its most creative reinterpretations.
