"Less is More"




The recipe proposed by Chef Marco and Vittorio Colleoni (Michelin star) Hotel San Martino di Treviglio, contains in itself the principles of "Cucina del senza", proposed at the manifestation "Gusto in scena" but without give up at the taste and creativity.
In collaboration with the food division of Medicallife Group, coordinated by Prof. Andrea Busalacchi, were select the suitable raw materials for the creation of a sweet without sugar (sucrose) to Calvenzano melon  in order to enhance the olfactory notes and palatal of this delicious fruit.
"Melon and chocolate world" is within the constraints imposed by the glycemic index, the use of fructose, natural honey (although to a lesser extent) as a substitute for sucrose, and the combination with the cocoa, help to moderate the sugar peaks,  in the blood responsible for the formation of AGEs (advanced glycosylated end products). The Ages so, would be responsible for the endogenous free radicals, primarily responsible for premature aging. The scope of the caloric dish, albeit to a lesser extent compared to a "classic sweet", it is decided and for this reason this recipe is portioned in small samples from the low calorie, great for a snack, an afternoon snack or why not? for a moment of goodies!
The total absence of gluten and animal fats, making it accessible to a vegetarian diet and all those who have the need to exclude gluten or dairy products from their diet.
