While searching for more info on Bresaola, cured beef from Italy, I learned quite a few things about the Valtellina valley in the Italian Alps where it originated. To be more precise the Valtellina is located above Lake Como and near the Swiss border.
I discovered Bitto, a local cheese that I have not had the chance to taste yet whose name is said to have celtic roots. The cheese blends cow milk with 10 to 20 percent goat milk. I was not surprised to see that slow food fans took a liking to the region. Besides food and wine, the area also offers many options to outdoors fans (ski, hiking, rock climbing, lakes…) and is also famous for its spas and thermal baths in Bormio.
Besides Bresaola, the Valtellina valley in the Italian Alps has much to offer
