The Mediterranean has always been our home of flavour.

It is the warm bread with the scent of the oven, the olive oil that captures the light, the ripe tomatoes that tell stories of endless summers.

It is a cuisine that speaks of conviviality and longevity.

Today, we feel the need to go further.

We live in a time when food must also mean care, lightness, and conscious beauty.

From this vision, Intelligence Gastronomy was born.

Our approach

For us, cooking means combining pleasure and health without compromise.
Reducing sugars and fats, enhancing fibres and natural nutrients, experimenting with ancient grains, alternative flours, and unconventional sweeteners.

We study functional ingredients such as beta-glucan and inulin, capable of supporting wellbeing and improving the nutritional profile of dishes.
Science guides us, but emotion remains at the centre.

In the kitchen with Chef Sara

Every day our chef, Sara Faraldo, experiments with doughs, textures, and aromas.
It is a process made of trials and errors, intuition and new ideas.

“For me, cooking is emotion,” says Sara. “I want every dish to surprise the senses and, at the same time, become an act of care.”

A shared vision

As founder, I, Marianne Giordanengo, feel the responsibility to give meaning to this research.

For me, the Mediterranean is not just tradition: it is a living heritage that must be renewed with elegance, creativity, and attention to the person — the true prevention for a healthy and vital longevity.

Together, we want to build a kind of cuisine that is not only technique but a way of life.
A cuisine capable of speaking to those who seek beauty and wellbeing in every daily gesture.

Our journey

We are only at the beginning.
Every recipe we create is a step forward towards a new idea of cuisine: international, glamorous, yet deeply Mediterranean.

And we want to share this journey with you, here, in our blog.

Because we believe that the pleasure of eating is, today more than ever, the most elegant form of self-care.
