Contest “Veggie Style Sandwich - The Other Face Of The Sandwich” signed by D’Amico

For the purpose of 50 Top Italy, D'Amico launches the first edition of the contest "Veggie Style Sandwich - the other side of the sandwich" dedicated to vegetarian sandwiches, one of the most popular trends in the last period.

The sandwich represents a real revolution in the food system, which shows a change in the culinary world. While it was originally considered a fast and easy meal that fulfills the practical aspect rather than the quality, in the recent years we have seen an evolution, both in quality and taste. The delicious recipes have also become healthy and light and vegetarian options are becoming more and more frequent over time.

The contest is aimed at young catering professionals under 35 who will have to create, with creativity and respect for raw materials, a meatless sandwich and the main protagonist will be the Sun Dried Tomatos D’Amico that will be sent by the company. The initiative is aimed at enhancing creative talents, through a conscious and sustainable vision of nutrition, and the ingredient in all its creative and taste possibilities.

The winner will receive various awards and will join the company team becoming a D’Amico brand ambassador for a year, with continuous visibility through activities in synergy with the brand.
