Recap of the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai x Manzo Piedmontese Dinner
On the evening of Friday, August 2, 2024, the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, hosted Manzo Piedmontese and Railsback Frères for a one-of-a-kind themed dinner. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Hualalai's white-sand beaches and black-lava landscapes, this exclusive event promised to be a journey into gastronomic excellence, where Italian traditions met Hawaiian paradise.
Guests at this event were given the opportunity to experience this world-class beef at the renowned Beach Tree restaurant, prepared by the resort's very own Executive Chef, Richard Polhemus. Each dish was paired with a curated selection of wines from Railsback Frères, a winery known for producing high-quality, hand-crafted wines that complemented the richness of the beef.
The dining experience was a multi-course affair, with each bite telling a story of passion, history, and culinary innovation. Guests indulged in traditional Italian-inspired dishes made with Manzo’s beef, such as:
Fassone Carpaccio: Thinly sliced raw beef, drizzled with olive oil, lemon, and shaved parmesan, reflecting the simplicity and elegance of Piedmontese cuisine.
Carne Cruda: A nod to Italy’s rustic traditions, this raw minced beef dish was seasoned with fresh herbs and spices, showcasing the delicate texture and natural flavor of the Fassone breed.
Braised Short Ribs: Slow-cooked to perfection, these ribs highlighted the tenderness of the meat, paired with seasonal vegetables sourced from local Hawaiian farms.
The Four Seasons Resort Hualalai x Manzo Piedmontese Wine Dinner was an unforgettable evening of culinary delight and cultural fusion. With the tender, flavorful Fassone beef at its core, paired with exceptional wines and set in one of Hawaii's most picturesque locations, this event left a lasting impression on all who attended.
As Manzo Piedmontese continues to make waves in North America, events like this serve as a testament to the brand’s commitment to excellence and its dedication to sharing the unique qualities of Fassone beef with the world.
