Capital gets taste of Italian goodies

The venue is Jenny Lou's Palmsprings shop in Beijing where Italian chef Fabio Falanga is boiling pasta, surrounded by Parma ham, cheese, vinegar, extra virgin olive oil and red wines from Italy.

All the products are labeled Protected Designation of Origin (DOP), Protected Geographical Indication (IGP) or Organic (BIO), which indicate high quality.
