After an intense day exploring the territory, what could be better than a tasty snack or a tasty lunch?
The typical dishes of Baceno and its territory have the scent of simplicity and authenticity of mountain life. The breeding has been for centuries a traditional activity of the villagers, so the refined wisdom in the processing of milk is found in the great variety of flavors of cheese. The regal Bettelmatt, the equally tasty Ossolano, the aged cheeses, the “spress” and the “mascarpa” (smoked ricotta cheese), accompanied by a fragrant honey, tasty compotes or a rustic slice of black bread, will be a memorable experience.
The feast of taste continues with the triumph of scents and flavors of our cutting boards: lard, bacon, dried meat, salami and liver sausage… Do not miss also butter and yogurt of Alpe Devero, real treats for the palate.
The simplicity of life in the mountains is expressed in essential but tasty dishes, cooked with ingredients that a severe environment allows you to find. Potatoes are the inevitable component in “pasta rustìa”; onions, in the “supa da pitun”; bread and milk, in cakes. And then rice and milk, game, pasta, ravioli, soups and gnocchi seasoned with vegetables and aromatic and spontaneous herbs.
On Baceno’s table you can not miss polenta, accompanied by salami, braised meat, game or cooked with typical recipes, such as “fragait” (polenta fried in butter), or baked with cheese and butter.
