The Gourm.itpedia Word of the Day is "Alpeggio."
Alpine Pasture /alˈpɛddʒo/
High-altitude pastures, where livestock grazes on pristine, alpine meadows, producing raw milk of exceptional quality.
Alpine pastures are the cradle of many culinary treasures, where nature's finest ingredients are born. High in the mountainous regions, these alpeggio meadows provide an ideal environment for livestock, including cows and goats, to graze freely on nutrient-rich vegetation, nurturing their milk with unique qualities.
This unspoiled landscape with its lush diversity and pure mountain air is the secret behind the remarkable flavors found in raw milk cheeses. Marco Ciresa from Gildo Formaggi explains the importance of alpeggio and the raw milk it yields. Their cheeses like GranCrù capture the essence of these elevated pastures, creating a symphony of flavors that truly defines the spirit of alpeggio.
