More Than Oranges And Lemons: Savouring Diversity With Todolí Citrus

Discover the incredible story of the Todolí Citrus Fundació and its collection of almost 500 varieties of ancient, forgotten, and unusual citrus fruits. Technical director Óscar Olivares-Fuster, and Matthew Slotover, owner of Toklas restaurant, the first importer of Todolí’s fruit to the UK, will share how the foundation has grown into a remarkable living library of citrus biodiversity and more. Not just a centre of scientific research and education, but a hub of delicious and unusual fruits to inspire chefs to experiment with new recipes. Come along for an open discussion and exploration of how the learnings from this project can inspire parallel projects in fruit cultivation and new ways of celebrating biodiversity in kitchens.
