Corte del Dome

Corte del Dome decided to start its journey of discovery and selection in Tuscany, and it couldn't have been otherwise, since the brand's founder is tied to the land both in heart and mind. Finding itself almost in the middle of the long peninsula, Tuscany presents a wide variety of vistas and traditions. From the mountains to the sea, from the hills to the plains, to the colors green and blue found in its recipes.

The second leg of our journey is the region of Liguria and we are working to add 10 more regions with their exclusive products in the imminent future.

This is a celebration of the ingredients' quality and simplicity; a cuisine that bases itself on recipes that have been passed down through generations and that reflect the authenticity and seasonality of the products. Since this project has a strong personal connection, it's important to stress that these Tuscan flavors have deep roots in the region, which fully emerge in every dish that Corte del Dome prepares and presents.

Tradition dictates the raw materials, those that are hand-tasted and experienced in the family kitchen. Choosing what the selection would include wasn't easy, but every choice was informed by the desire to offer products that are truly excellent in their simplicity. Products that could very well have come out of your own kitchen. Passion is the main ingredient, found in the expertise of the best local artisans. Every product from Corte del Dome guarantees its consumer a gastronomic experience that is both authentic and unforgettable.

Recipe and production signed by Michelin starred Chef Mr. Marco Stabile to bring haute cuisine to every creation.
