Italian and French cuisines are two of the most prestigious cuisines in Europe, and the supporters of both sides are equally divided. What is the difference between Italian and French flavors? What is the difference between their respective dietary concepts?
Italian food pays more attention to ingredients than technology, and because of the large amount of olive oil, the taste is lighter. French cuisine mainly relies on butter, and various elaborate sauces.
Italian cuisine: emphasis on freshness, original flavor
Italian cuisine actually has many regional characteristics. Italy did not achieve political unity until 1861. In the past, many European powers occupied Italian territory, especially the Greeks and Etruscans, who contributed to food and traditions. Therefore, the cuisine of southern Italy was influenced by other civilizations in the Mediterranean.
In addition to using the freshest raw materials and agricultural products (they like to use olive oil, tomatoes and cheese), Italians have a very rich and diverse source of food raw materials. Italian dishes are mostly simple and not complicated. You don’t need to mix one ingredient with another like the French do, and then drizzle the sauce to finish. All the ingredients are already in the main course, you just have to eat it. However, Italian food has more carbohydrates, so the possibility of gaining weight is higher.
Italian cuisine is more grounded than French cuisine. A spoonful of pasta or lasagna can give people an inexplicable sense of happiness, and the meal prepared by the grandmother at home is full of family atmosphere.
Traditional Italian meals include appetizers, two main courses and salads. Unlike most European cuisines, the first main course is usually heavier and rich in carbohydrates, while the second main course is lighter and usually made of fish or meat.

But to put it simply, they like their bread and wine so much that most of their meals use bread and cheese as appetizers. Other dishes will be served after this. These dishes are paired with different kinds of wine. One thing worth noting about French cuisine is the sauce.

The serving size of French cuisine is not as large as that of the Italians, so the French have many dishes for every meal.
