Hailed as the “Internet’s highest honor” by The New York Times, The Webby Awards, presented by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences (IADAS), is the leading international awards organization honoring excellence on the Internet. IADAS, which nominates and selects The Webby Award Winners, is comprised of Internet industry experts including Instagram Co-founder Kevin Systrom, Mozilla Chairwoman Mitchell Baker, 23andMe Co-Founder and CEO Anne Wojcicki, PBS CEO Paula Kerger, Headspace Founder Andy Puddicombe, The dtx Company Founder Tim Armstrong, News Not Noise Founder Jessica Yellin, R/GA US Chief Creative Officer Tiffany Rolfe, The Ringer Founder Bill Simmons, and Target CMO Rick Gomez, Girls Who Code Founder & CEO Reshma Saujani, and Pineapple Street Media Co-founder Jenna Weiss-Berman.
The limited series entitled Volpi Classics offers new riffs on time-honored recipes – with a uniquely Volpi twist. The 17-part video series is made of short-form recipe content, less than 60 seconds in length, and aims to showcase how consumers can use charcuterie in a variety of ways: from an upgraded Breakfast sandwich to an IPA Spritz garnished with Hot Sopressata. The series is currently live on Volpi Foods Instagram and Facebook pages as well as volpifoods.com
