Mutti Tomatoes hosted an immersive dining experience at the Queen's house in Greenwich, London to offer visitors a series of tomato-themed sights, sounds and tastes to liven the senses.
The dining experience was hosted by fourth-generation CEO Francesco Mutti and boasted a 110-meter red carpet as a nod to the humble tomato. The dining experience inside consisted of Mutti cocktails for guests to sip as they learnt about the lifecycle of the tomato before enjoying a four-course meal curated by the By Word of Mouth caterers. This included dishes entitled The Founding Fathers, Deceptively Simple, Fields of Parma and Pomodorino d'Oro.
UK Managing Director, Mutti Dhiresh Hirani spoke on the Mutti Tomatoes immersive dining experience saying, "We are proud to create this extraordinary experience in London, at such a historic and fitting venue. It was a celebration not only of Mutti’s heritage and quality, but also of the exceptional growth we are achieving here in the UK and the relationships we are building with chefs, retailers, and consumers who share our love of tomatoes.”
