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.
