Ingredients from Mediterranean and Alpine cuisine are brought together at cooking classes, in special dishes at local restaurants and at culinary events throughout the year.
The Meran Foodie Factory is an initiative in which regional and seasonal products are used, where new dishes are created and old recipes spiced up.
Central to all initiatives is the creation of special dishes, which reflect the specific Alpine-Mediterranean character of Meran and Environs. Participating chefs receive a fixed list of ingredients to use, from which they must choose at least two Mediterranean and two Alpine ingredients.
