About Italian Food and Wine, MSc - at University of Padua

The Master’s degree explores understanding, management, promotion and protection of high-value food products.

This background couples with the most recent developments in technology, nutrition, food safety, diet and health, and sensory science, core elements of a growing international demand for terroir-related high-value foods.
