Cosmogonia Gourmet was born from the desire to transform tasting into a symbolic, multisensory, and narrative journey.
A collection of four boxes inspired by the four elements — Air, Fire, Earth, and Water — and rooted in an ancient and fascinating concept: cosmogony, the story of the origin of the world.
The word cosmogony comes from the Greek kósmos (order, universe) and gónos (genesis, birth).
Since the time of Hesiod, the pre-Socratic philosophers, and the foundational myths of many cultures, cosmogony has represented humanity’s attempt to understand how the world took shape from the undefined.
The four elements — Air, Fire, Earth, and Water — thus become archetypes, primordial forces that give life, structure, and meaning to existence.
Cosmogonia Gourmet brings this vision into the gastronomic universe, transforming each box into a small cosmos of flavors.
Not just simple products, but micro-worlds built on aromatic balance, symbolic evocations, and neurogastronomic paths designed to awaken deep emotions.
AIR – The Garden of Prospero
The element Air is lightness, breath, and fragrance.
The tasting journey of The Garden of Prospero embodies this dimension through vegetal aromas, citrus notes, and a luminous flavor profile — from asparagus risotto to a mist of bergamot, all the way to the freshness of lemon and ginger cookies.
A suspended, radiant experience that tells the story of vital breath and the purity of air.
FIRE – The Dream of the Golden Forest
Fire is transformation, warmth, and intensity.
The Dream of the Golden Forest box represents this element through the depth of truffle, the toasted notes of the Leön cake, and the spiced warmth of saffron and cardamom tea.
Flavors ignite, expand, and envelop — expressing the fiery, creative energy of fire, capable of transforming matter and revealing its deepest essence.
EARTH – The Banquet of Apollo
Earth is solidity, roots, and nourishment.
The tasting journey of The Banquet of Apollo delves into this symbolism with spaghetti made from eight ancient Tuscan grains, the natural sweetness of tomato infused with vanilla, the golden light of saffron, and the balsamic depth of licorice.
An experience that speaks of harvest, balance, and abundance — evoking the fertile groundedness of the Earth.
WATER – The Song of Thetis
Water is flow, movement, and constant transformation.
The Song of Thetis box tells the story of the sea through the harmony of salicornia, raspberries, ginger, dill, and smoked sturgeon.
This journey begins with a marine appetizer and culminates in dill tagliolini, evoking the fluid dance of ocean currents and the sensory depth of the Water element.
The Philosophy of Cosmogonia Gourmet
This collection was created to bring together in a single vision:
- ancient symbolism
- Italian haute cuisine
- the art of tasting,
- contemporary neurogastronomy
- and an elegant narrative of taste.
Each box is conceived as a small, coherent universe.
Each tasting journey is designed as a “genesis of flavors”: it begins with introductory aromas, moves through contrasts, textures, and temperatures, and arrives at a finale that completes the experience.
A symphony that activates memory, tactile sensations, olfactory perception, and emotional responses.
For this reason, Cosmogonia Gourmet is not merely a collection of products, but a story — a form of gastronomic poetry that restores to the table its original power: to be a place of creation, exchange, and contemplation.
Cosmogonia Gourmet: An Invitation to Wonder
In an age where everything moves fast, these boxes invite us to pause, to breathe, and to listen to what food has to say.
Air, Fire, Earth, and Water thus become four gateways to an experience that brings together taste, culture, and imagination.
A symbolic and sensorial journey that turns each bite into a gesture filled with meaning.
Cosmogonia Gourmet is an invitation to discover the origin of emotions through food, to be guided by the elements, and to find—on the plate—a small reflection of the universe.
