Casta Diva consolidates as producer of premium original cooking formats

Casta Diva Group's production arm, Casta Diva confirms its expertise in producing cooking shows that mixed a wide range of genres from travels, challenges, environment and sustainability green foods. In just over two years, the company has signed eight different original formats dedicated to food, conceived, and produced directly by the Casta Diva creative team for Warner Bros. Discovery.

Even 2023 is no exception as two new titles were produced: on Thursday March 9, Food Network launched "Casa Carrara - Dolci in famiglia" ("Carrara House – Desserts with the Family"). The six-part episodes sees pastry chef Damiano Carrara opening the doors of his workshop and his home to viewers, showing his business and family’s life. Other hot title is "The Green table" (6 eps) in which actor Vittorio Vaccaro discover the most environmentally friendly agriculture farm in the north of Italy, broadcast by Food Network on February 21, 2023.

The full list of the cooking shows produced by Casta Diva includes: "Tarabaralla - Finché c'è dolce c'è Speranza" ("As long as there is a dessert there is hope"), "Ci vediamo al bar – Sapori di Sicilia in sfida" ("See you at the Cafè – Tastes of Sicily face off") a cooking competition among the best caffès in Sicily, two seasons of factual cookery "C'è ciccia" hosted by butcher Luca Terni, which will see its third season in 2023, "Scarpetta d'Italia" and "Pazzi di Pizza" ready for a second series, and "Lo stadio dei golosi," which will start in spring.

"The work of our division dedicated to TV productions is proceeding successfully with both satisfaction from the broadcasters and viewers," commented Fabio Nesi and Massimo Righini, CEO and Chief Creative Officer at Casta Diva. "Last year we reorganised the team with the entry, among others, of Francesco Gorgoni as Head of Creative Team precisely to increase the production of original television formats, our real strong point, and within a few months we were able to conceive and produce new, fresh and original programmes. We are also continuing our relations with foreign production companies as this an additional stimulus to continue along this path and a confirmation of the quality of our offer," Nesi and Righini conclude.
