CAST ALIMENTI is located in Brescia, an interesting city between Milan and Venice, a few miles away from Lake Garda and Verona, in a great area rich in culture, history, art, nature, and with a long tradition of good food and wines; many tourists visit the city every year. CAST ALIMENTI is located in the heart of the Po Valley, Italy’s most important river, in one of the best-known areas in Italy and abroad for the quality and excellence of its local products such as Franciacorta and Lugana wines, balsamic vinegar, ham and culatello, white and black truffles, extravergin Olive oil, Grana Padano and Parmigiano Reggiano. An efficient transport network allows easy access to Brescia (motorways, airports and railway). CAST ALIMENTI is located nearby the Brescia Metro station (10 minutes away from the main train station).

CAST ALIMENTI, i.e. “Centro Arte, Scienza e Tecnologia dell’Alimento” (Food, Art, Science and Technology Centre), is a training and specialization school founded in Brescia in 1996. The only centre in Italy providing specific courses in all the “mestieri del gusto” (culinary arts) in specially equipped classroom-laboratories.

CAST ALIMENTI is the Institute where Great Master Chefs educate learners on the Italian food heritage with rigor and passion, and a forward-thinking training center to rely on to turn dreams into tangible projects. The educational methodology applied to Advanced Training Programs (medium to long terms core courses) can be so summarized: pragmatism, limited number of attendees for a better teacher-student ratio, facilities with state of art equipment, multimedia learning tools, simulation of work situations, full involvement of the participants thanks to a catalog of concentration courses which allows to keep up to date all through the career.
