Sustainable gastronomy means cuisine that considers where the ingredients are from, how the food is grown, and how it gets to our markets and eventually to our plates. Gastronomy is not only the expression of the natural and cultural diversity of the world. It’s also art, history, love, beliefs, and above all, passion.
Celebrating local, seasonal ingredients and preserving the environment has become more relevant now than ever before, and at Lucta, we work to provide consumers with the best eating experiences.
