Welcome to Episode 1343 in which Marc Millon interviews Stefano Silvi of Fermento Nero. More about Fermento Nero: Stefano Silvi and his friends got together to work on an interesting idea, they had tasted a Korean dish… and they found that it was delicious because of the garlic.

An acronym of Reliable Environmental Solutions, and a cooperative company in Ravenna that operates in the fields of alternative energy and the enhancement of organic matrices through anaerobic digestion. Earth and science, dexterity and technique, craftsmanship and technology. NeroFermento finds precisely in the dualism at the basis of its identity, the drive necessary to innovate, experiment and progress, raising its quality standards day after day with the aim of offering the market a new, fresh and unprecedented point of view. To learn more about the company visit: www.nerofermento.it/nero-fermento/ More about the host Marc Millon: Marc Millon, VIA Italian Wine Ambassador 2021, has been travelling, eating, drinking, learning and writing about wine, food and travel for nearly 40 years.
