30th gastronomic event dedicated to the use of medicinal plants in the kitchen with competitions, dinners with multi-starred chefs and masterclasses.
The Green Plate is a gastronomic event dedicated to aromatic herbs and their creative use in the kitchen.
It includes a competition dedicated to hotel institutes from Italy and Europe, dinners with starred chefs, masterclasses for the valorisation of aromatic herbs and regional food and wine specialties.
Aromatic herbs, which have always characterized local cuisine, are the modern and at the same time traditional element of a cuisine attentive to trends and new sensitivities. The Herb Garden of Casola Valsenio, a botanical garden where almost 500 varieties of medicinal plants are grown, a few km from Riolo Terme, is the heart of this tradition.
The theme chosen for the 2025 edition is:
“The herbs of longevity”: Herbs, roots, berries, seeds and flowers of longevity

The fermentation of vegetables – basic course with theoretical and practical laboratory by Sara Marani
We often hear about fermented foods, and fermentation is attracting more and more interest. A practice that was used for conservation lost with the advent of refrigerators and sterilization, but which allows foods, if done correctly, to undergo a series of transformations involving good microorganisms that enhance their flavors, nutritional properties and health effects. Sara Marani, teacher at the Riolo Terme Hotel Institute and specialized in these fascinating procedures, will show and tell us everything we need to prepare fermented foods at home, which are so precious for our well-being.

If the visit is accompanied by a guide who tells you anecdotes, makes you stop to poke holes in the most famous spots or on the podium, it is even more exciting.
