This is your opportunity to experience the true depth of Italian cuisine through an exclusive learning journey.

Why study at a single culinary institute when you can learn directly from leading chefs, producers, and hospitality professionals across Southern Italy?

Through ITALUS' exclusive partnership with ELITE – Italy’s excellence in hospitality, you will learn far beyond what recipes teach.
You will learn about ingredients and seasonality, regional agriculture, artisanal production, traditional cheese making, regional wine pairings, and the cultural context behind every dish.

Imagine spending a day in the pastures with the shepherd, herding and milking sheep, then making the very pecorino you'll serve your guests. Or visiting a local producer, immersively connecting with the artisanal brands used exclusively by our regional chefs.

You'll learn language, see exceptional territory and develop the essential skills and traditional techniques that every chef — professional or home — should know to elevate any culinary experience.

Courses are offered through each season of the year, include stays and yes, we also offer in cucina with nonna classes, for those who want to learn the heart of Italian cooking, straight from the matriarch.

While we finalize our course offerings, we invite you to reach out with any questions about accelerating your journey into authentic regional Italian cuisine.
