Corporate catering in Milan is a crowded market: fast catering, lunch kits, deliveries of all kinds. In this context, Modus offers Cilento cuisine cooked from scratch every morning, delivered for events, business lunches, and private occasions. The same food served daily at Modus gastronomies, using the same ingredients that arrive directly from the Cilento region.
What is meant by Cilento catering?
Modus's Cilento catering is based on the principles of the Mediterranean Diet, recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage, prepared with ingredients sourced from traceable supply chains within the Cilento National Park. Legumes, ancient grains, seasonal vegetables, fish preserved using traditional methods, and extra virgin olive oil from Cilento.
Cilento cuisine is by definition "cucina povera" (peasant cooking) transformed into excellence: few ingredients, high quality, simple yet precise techniques. For a corporate event or a private dinner, this translates into recognizable and light dishes, ideal for continuing to work in the afternoon.
How does the Modus Milano catering service work?
The Modus Milano catering service starts from our gastronomies: the same kitchens that prepare meals every morning for customers at our Corso Italia and Via Pirelli locations also produce the platters and preparations for external events. The food is cooked fresh in the morning and delivered within the service's coverage area.
It is the same method of operation as our gastronomies, taken on the road. This means that the catering menu reflects that day's gastronomy offering, with the same seasonal variations and the same raw materials.
Is Modus suitable for corporate catering in Milan?
Yes, with some specific features. Modus catering is particularly suitable for:
Business lunches: the Mediterranean Cilento menu is balanced and light. Legumes, vegetables, ancient grains, and lean proteins adapt to different nutritional needs.
Corporate dinners with a gastronomic theme: the story of the Cilento supply chain is a narrative that lends itself to themed dinners, where food becomes a pretext for talking about the territory, sustainability, and food culture.
Aperitifs and private events: Modus’s Cilento products—cured meats, cheeses, preserves, and bread made with ancient grains—are perfect for tasting tables and aperitifs that tell the story of a specific territory.
What kind of menu does Modus offer for catering and events?
The Modus catering menu follows seasonality and reflects the current gastronomy offering. Recurring options include:
Appetizers and tastings: Cilento cured meats (Soppressata di Gioi, capocollo), cheeses (Caciocavallo Podolico, goat's cacioricotta), artisanal preserves, and bread made with ancient grain flours.
First courses: ancient grain pasta with traditional Cilento sauces, legume soups (Controne beans, chickpeas, lentils), and seasonal vegetable soups.
Main courses and sides: fish and meat based on seasonal availability, grilled vegetables in oil, and ancient grain salads.
Desserts: traditional Cilento sweets, chocolate-covered figs, cakes with local honey, and tarts with artisanal jams.
The entire menu can be adapted to specific requirements: vegetarian, gluten-free (with some limitations), and allergy-conscious options.
What ingredients does Modus use for catering?
The same ingredients as our gastronomies. Madonna dell'Olivo for EVOO; Terra Dura for pasta; the Cammarano Lucia farm in Roccadaspide for durum wheat flours; and the producers in Paolo De Simone's Cilento network for legumes, preserves, cured meats, and cheeses. It is the same supply chain used in our gastronomies.
Soon, this supply chain will arrive at your home as well.
What makes Modus catering different from standard services?
The main difference is traceability. Modus catering uses ingredients with a specific name and producer, from the same suppliers that stock Modus kitchens every day. It is the guarantee that the quality seen on the plate corresponds to something real and verifiable.
The second difference is the "daily cooking": everything is prepared fresh on the morning of delivery. What you eat was cooked in the last few hours.
