The new Jesolo a Tavola guide is out early, so those who want to find the right place to eat don’t have to wait for Summer. In fact for the first time the compendium linked to the most important and long-running food and wine festival of the city - Jesolo a Tavola – will be published in March, also due to the fact that it will be distributed abroad. This is an advantage, as Jesolo is not just a resort to be experienced from May to September and, as a result, the guide has decided to adapt to these new, stimulating circumstances,
involving first and foremost leading culinary professionals.
THE JAT GUIDE, A DIARY OF DEVOTION
We all know that the fine food and wine Jesolo offers is a fundamental element of its appeal as a tourist destination. It is slightly more difficult, however, to present this gastronomic heritage, by bringing together every combination of taste and culinary skill, knowledge and interpretation - the immense wealth produced by
our local land and sea every day. This is why Jesolo a Tavola is not just a guide, but a diary that reflects the devotion of those who love great food.

AN IMPORTANT ACHIEVEMENT
A sixteenth anniversary is an important achievement for any editorial
project, even though the time has passed astonishingly
quickly. It was Spring 1996 when Next Italia, which is still the company
that publishes Jesolo a Tavola, decided to create a wine and
food festival that would focus on tradition and the area’s culinary
wealth. The fact that Jesolo a Tavola is still an important reference
point for all those who love good food is extremely satisfying. Join
us on our culinary journey and we’re sure you’ll be surprised once
again.

PRODUCTS FROM THE VENETO
AND THE JESOLO COASTLINE,
GUARANTEED QUALITY
TO PROTECT THE CONSUMER
Work, solidarity, commitment and quality of life: the Veneto is a
region of values where material components are also important.
This is why we have a high standard of living for our citizens,
where gastronomic pleasure is central and consumers can count
on added value that satisfies all their needs and expectations.
Agroindustrial excellence is not just a question of taste, but also
of objective figures and the quality and taste of the Veneto region
are found in an enormous range of food products whose characteristics
go far beyond the minimal requirements imposed by law.
The area has 16 Protected Denomination of Origin products, 18
Protected Geographical Indication products, 27 Controlled Denomination
of Origin wines and 11 Controlled and Guaranteed
Denomination of Origin wines, as well as 7 Typical Geographical
Indication products that combine typical features, quality and
quantity. The position of excellence that our region has earned
within Europe is completed by another 367 traditional products.
In short, we are Italy’s leading region for denominated products
and the second for traditional specialities, which include virtually
all categories of agroindustrial products: meat, fruit and vegetables,
cheese, pulses and rice, etc. We have the utmost in taste,
quality, safety and guarantees. Every area has its 0 km treasures,
produced by the local countryside and nature’s rhythms and seasons.
The Jesolo – Cavallino – Treporti coastline has, for example, a
vast range of extremely valuable local produce that is well worth
discovering and tasting: tomatoes and jujubes from Cavallino, yellow
plums from Lio Piccolo, as well as barena honey, Montine bitter
green asparagus, the fagiolino meraviglia (mangetout) and
white peaches and pears from the Venice area, to name just a few.
The Veneto’s quality agroindustrial products are obtained by following
precise rules but, above all, through extreme dedication
and care for the land: regulations are only arid points of reference
if there is no passion for creating the very best. The Veneto region
offers an integrated, continually controlled and monitored system
whose aim is to ensure consumers and purchasers have the maximum
traceability, reliability, safety, quality and taste in its products.
