The Ark of Taste travels the world collecting small-scale quality productions threatened by industrial agriculture, environmental degradation and homogenization. The Ark of Taste searches out, catalogs and describes forgotten flavors from all around the planet: products at risk of extinction but surviving, that could be rediscovered and returned to the market. This is an interesting website that everyone should use to help understand the heritage of foods of Italy and elsewhere.
