You can almost taste the Italian cooking in this colourful oil painting by Vincenzo Campi, a Renaissance master. This canvas, painted in the early 1580s, invites the viewer to travel to the land of Italian chef Roberto Rispoli.

For the Italian Michelin-starred chef, these ricotta eaters conjure up Sunday meals with the family, with spoons plunged into the mounds of cream cheese that Sicilian shepherds still make today. He lets us into some trade secrets with Cédric Casanova, who operates his press, and then takes a fond trip to his personal olive grove, from where he extracts the oil he serves in his restaurant. Fabienne Roux, a distinguished olive oil specialist, then analyses and samples the oil that has a tasty history and has been much prized for thousands of years.
