Maurizio Pigliacampi

Hello, I’m Maurizio Pigliacampi, Italian by birth and Bulgarian by adoption. I’m not a chef: I’m simply someone who cooks out of passion and decided to turn that passion into something real.

With Pesto BG, I didn’t just bring pesto to Bulgaria, but real Italian ingredients. The authentic ones, the kind that make all the difference even when a recipe looks simple. And I continue to do it every day: bringing the true taste of Italy to Bulgaria, without shortcuts and without compromises.

The Pesto BG recipe collection was born from this idea: it is not just a simple archive of dishes, but a journey made of tradition, quality ingredients and memories.

And then there is the most important part.

These recipes come from my grandmother. They are the only true legacy she left me: thousands of recipes, notes, gestures and flavors that tell the story of a real kitchen, built with love and time. She is no longer here, but she left behind an entire world of cooking.

I am trying to do something simple and huge at the same time: preserve all of this, translate it into three languages and carry it forward, recipe after recipe, without losing a single one. This is Pesto BG: real ingredients, real recipes, real Italian memories.
