Amore Sapore:
Cooks, Caterers and Classes
“Melchiorre’s notion is that food
to the cook is just like marble to Michelangelo—it
is up to the artist to bring out what is already there.
What a concept for living life.”
--E. Robinson, Salisbury, Maryland
“Melchiorre is a national treasure!”
–K. Simon, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
After a day of wandering through Umbria’s
hilltowns and vineyards, shopping and visiting museums in
Florence, or simply soaking up the Tuscan sun by the pool,
coming back to “the villa” and a home-cooked meal
is a welcome treat.
And that’s where we come in!

 Amore
Sapore (“to love flavors”) was founded in 1996 to
introduce visitors to the experience of enjoying the traditional
foods of Umbria and Tuscany. Under the direction of Melchiorre
Chessa, a Sardinian who has spent most of his life in Umbria,
Amore Sapore brings the textures, flavors and colors of central
Italy to the kitchen of your vacation home. We work closely with
you to plan menus to please every palate, based on seasonal favorites,
likes and dislikes, ages and allergies.
As well as catering services, Amore Sapore offers
demonstrations and welcomes participation in such varied local
specialties as cheese and sausage making, baking bread in the
stone bread oven, as well as ravioli and gnocchi cookery, grilling,
and cooking with local herbs found growing wild in the Italian
countryside.
As much as possible, all the foods we use are locally
produced or grown in our own gardens—organic vegetables,
and meat from animals raised by farmers we know. We use only the
foods that are in season, and we help you plan your menu around
what is available while you are here in Italy.
If you are interested in learning more about the
delicious and memorable experience we offer, as well as menus
and prices, please go our website, www.amoresapore.com.
