Michele Valotti | La Madia Breschia, Italy
Biography
Michele Valotti is chef and owner of La Madia, the restaurant he founded in 1998 in Brione, in the hills of the province of Brescia. From there, he has built a gastronomic approach closely linked to the territory and to the recovery of traditional products, techniques and flavours, which he continually researches and reinterprets.His cuisine is based on local, seasonal raw materials, with an increasing presence of vegetables, herbs and products from small producers. One of the areas of work he has developed most extensively is fermentation, which he applies to vegetables, pulses and other ingredients to explore new possibilities in terms of flavour and preservation. The result is a cuisine that maintains a close relationship with Italian tradition while incorporating less conventional techniques and processes.
At La Madia, Valotti champions a cuisine based on produce and full use of ingredients, with particular attention to reducing waste. The restaurant offers tasting menus only and works with local producers, whose names are associated with the ingredients used. His approach seeks to recover traditional flavours and practices from a contemporary perspective, with an increasing focus on a more plant-based and sustainable cuisine.
