Igles Corelli and Circular Cuisine: An Italian Excellence in the Name of Sustainability
In a time when sustainability is at the heart of global attention, the world of food and wine cannot help but become a spokesperson for a necessary and urgent change. Among the leading figures of this revolution is, without a doubt, Igles Corelli — a multi-award-winning chef and pioneer of what he calls “circular cuisine.”
Corelli, who also serves as a Voice of Expert within the Alysei network, is much more than a chef: he is a visionary, able to merge fine dining with a deeply ethical and sustainable philosophy. His idea of circular cuisine is based on a principle as simple as it is revolutionary: nothing should go to waste. Every ingredient can be used in its entirety, every part can be given a second gastronomic life.
What does it mean to cook circularly?
For Igles Corelli, circular cuisine is first and foremost a conscious approach. In practice, it means giving value to the entire ingredient: stems, leaves, peels, cores — everything becomes a resource. For example, vegetable peels can be turned into crispy chips or used to flavor broths; cheese rinds become savory fillings or toppings; the less noble parts of fish are transformed into extraordinary soups and veloutés.
But it’s not just about reusing ingredients. Corelli applies the concept of circularity also to his supply chain choices, favoring small local producers, seasonal ingredients, short supply chains, and organic raw materials. Each dish thus tells a story of territory, respect, and innovation.
Innovation rooted in tradition
Igles Corelli’s cuisine is not only a model of sustainability but also an act of creativity. Thanks to his deep knowledge of traditional Italian cooking and his constant technical experimentation, he is able to give new life to forgotten or discarded ingredients. The result is surprising dishes that never compromise on flavor — they simply reinvent it with care for the environment.
A model for the future
In his work as a teacher and mentor, Corelli is passing on these values to new generations of chefs. His dedication to education is essential to building a more mindful, ethical, and responsible future for Italian gastronomy.
At Alysei, his presence is a tremendous added value. As an industry expert, Corelli brings his experience and vision into a digital ecosystem that connects producers, chefs, restaurateurs, and consumers — all united by their commitment to Italian excellence.
Why circular cuisine matters
Circular cuisine is a concrete answer to food waste and the environmental impact of the culinary industry. It is a philosophy that demands creativity, skill, and sensitivity. It is also a remarkable opportunity to stand out, tell an authentic story, and engage an audience that is increasingly focused on quality and sustainability.
Thanks to Igles Corelli, this vision becomes reality. And through Alysei, it has the power to inspire and connect the entire world of Italian and international gastronomy.
