Academia Barilla Educates Web Users with a Gourmet Trivia Game and Offers Free Gourmet Culinary Gift

Gourmet Italian Food Ambassador Academia Barilla launches ambitious gourmet trivia online campaign to raise awareness for products and to promote gourmet Italian food and culture. Innovative How Deep Is Your Love gourmet trivia campaign entices and educates users while expanding knowledge of Italian gastronomy.

PARMA, ITALY (PRWEB) April 16, 2007 -- Italian gourmet food Ambassador Academia Barilla launches a creative online campaign today with the aim of educating an extensive Internet user base about the finer points of gourmet Italian food and culture.

The real goal of this campaign is to excite the wide base of Italian food lovers into learning more about gourmet food production and how much of a role Academia Barilla takes in protecting traditional Italian Gastronomy.

Creating some of the material for this innovative campaign was really a lot of fun. That's what we do so well around here - in addition to knowing the ins and outs of gourmet Italian food, we have a great time. I hope that we can pass along a lot of this fun, as well as the knowledge and learning, of course, to our lucky web site visitors.

The Italian gourmet food company is publicizing its products and its rich library of Italian gastronomy, gourmet recipes and culinary information with the innovative How Deep is Your Love campaign.

Web users are asked a series of ten questions that test user knowledge in the following areas: gourmet Italian food production, basic Italian language and geography, and Academia Barilla brand and products.

Each of the questions posed to web users in the campaign is taken directly from the rich sources of material that Academia Barilla offers online, from its gourmet food blog Italian Food Lovers, to the product-laden Academia Barilla online store to its information-filled website. User will be able to invite their friends via email to test their Italian culinary skills, as well.

Academia Barilla is offering each user who engages in the short and fun gourmet trivia game a downloadable copy of an Italian Gourmet Cookbook which features recipes, photos and other treasures gleaned from the famous Academia Barilla Gastronomic Library in Parma, Italy.

The digital pamphlet features exclusive recipes and gourmet treats that cannot be found elsewhere, introducing a time travel in Italian gastronomy, from the Etruscans and Roman eras to the more sophisticated recipes of Medieval and 19th century recipes.

Ilaria Rossi, Director of Marketing of Academia Barilla, shares that "The real goal of this campaign is to excite the wide base of Italian food lovers into learning more about gourmet food production and how much of a role Academia Barilla takes in protecting traditional Italian Gastronomy."

Massimo Mercanti, Academia Barilla chef and blogger on the popular Italian Food Lovers blog, says, "Creating some of the material for this innovative campaign was really a lot of fun. That's what we do so well around here - in addition to knowing the ins and outs of gourmet Italian food, we have a great time. I hope that we can pass along a lot of this fun, as well as the knowledge and learning, of course, to our lucky web site visitors."
