Within Sermoneta, Italy's medieval walls, the ancient "trombolotto" citrus fruit is reviving forgotten local traditions and recipes. This rare yellow fruit is championed by producer Angela Concu and FAO Champion chef Cristina Bowerman, transforming it into a symbol of sustainable gastronomy.

Their collaboration, highlighted during the International Year of Women Farmers, creates new links between producers and chefs. This initiative promotes both innovation and tradition within the food supply chain, ensuring the trombolotto's unique heritage endures.
