From September 14 to December 12, 2009, nine students from the dual-major in EcoGastronomy at the University of New Hampshire (Durham, NH, USA) will attend a series of classes, site visits, and tastings at the University of Gastronomic Sciences’ Pollenzo campus. There they will study History of Cuisine, History of Food, Food Law, Aesthetics, and Food Technology Processes, as well as take an intensive course in Italian. Traveling within Piedmont and other Italian regions, the students will also participate in a series of guided tastings and visits to olive oil and wine producers.
The semester marks the first year of a new study-abroad relationship between UNISG and UNH, and is designed to provide the American students with a perspective on Italian gastronomy, including the parallels and differences with gastronomic studies in the United States.
Previously, fifteen UNISG students attended UNH (during the 2009 summer semester), as part of their two-year graduate program in Gastronomy and Food Communications.
