ORO VALENTIO
More than just a name.
Healthy & Strong
The phrase “Oro Valentio” masterfully combines the Italian word “Oro,” meaning “golden (which is associated with value in connection with purity, quality, quantity, and rarity),” with “Valentio,” a variation of the Italian name “Valentino,” which means “healthy and strong little boy.” By omitting the “n” in “Valentino,” the word “Valentio” evolves to carry a general meaning of “healthy and strong.” Together, it conveys the meaning of “golden, healthy and strong.” This phrase goes beyond a simple tagline; it encapsulates a standard for food —one that prioritizes not just sustenance but the purity, quality, and balance needed to truly support human strength and vitality for robust resilience. Its roots in the Italian language also lend a cultural touch, evoking associations with high-quality culinary traditions.
Golden
At Oro Valentio, we embellish our dishes with edible golden flakes for several significant reasons. Gold is often associated with purity, excellence, and a sense of the extraordinary. In the context of food, gold flakes are a potent symbol of these ideals:
Only food-grade, pure gold of the correct particle size is safe for consumption. Impurities or incorrect particle sizes can render it harmful. This mirrors the care and precision required in food preparation to ensure it is both nourishing and safe. Featuring gold flakes on our food serves as a reminder to prioritize ingredients. Many store-bought foods contain additives such as high-fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors and colors, preservatives like BHA and BHT, hydrogenated oils, and (some recent studies reveal) traces of heavy metals in some foods—all of which may be concerning for health-conscious consumers.
Just as only the finest gold is acceptable for consumption, food must meet rigorous standards to promote health. This includes being free of harmful additives, having the right nutrient balance, and being unprocessed to retain its natural goodness.
Gold flakes add a touch of elegance and refinement, underscoring the message that food should not only sustain but also inspire and elevate our human experience. Many people’s most acute or emotional memories involve food because of the deep connection between food, emotions, and social experiences. Food serves as more than sustenance; it is a vessel for emotions, experiences, and relationships, making it one of the most powerful triggers of memory and feeling.
While we digitally enhance our photos with gold in order to convey a message and for brand identity, we do not encourage consumption of edible gold. The gold is strategically placed on the food to underscore our commitment to presenting food that is not only appealing and appetizing, but also mindful of ingredient integrity to ensure that you are carefully engineering your food to help you be healthy and strong. If you choose to add edible gold to your food you should ensure it is food-grade, pure (22 to 24 karats), and free from additives or contaminants. Buy from reputable suppliers known for quality, consider intended use (decorative vs. consumption), and store properly to maintain quality.
A Golden Standard
Oro Valentio’s use of gold serves as more than just a visual and philosophical statement of its golden standard of value in connection with purity, quality, quantity, and rarity. The gold also represents the fact that at the heart of Oro Valentio is Independent Integration Systems Engineering (XSE) which is systems engineering for the strength, integrity and advancement of the human. As engineering has been said to be an entwining of creativity and science, so too, can it be declared as foundational in excellent food and recipe development and production. Oro Valentio’s mission of engineering cuisine that is not only appealing and appetizing, but also designed to build strength and support health and vitality, aligns with the purpose of XSE, which also uses gold to symbolize integrity, strength, and advancement.
Engineering strength... starting in the heart of the home
Oro Valentio embraces XSE as a framework to address the complexities of modern dietary needs and food systems. XSE provides tools to assess, integrate, and optimize factors that contribute to wellness and strength. In partnership with XSE, Oro Valentio supports and encourages people to be educated about what their bodies need to thrive in a world full of dietary challenges, empowering them to make decisions that align with health and resilience.
