The gourm.itpedia word of the week is:
Pastore
/pasto're/
The person who leads sheep and goats (less often cattle) to pasture and is in charge of their care and management. Verano Bertagni, shepherd dairyman for Caseificio Bertagni, tells how one learns to become a shepherd and explains the importance of passing on this profession to the next generation.
Gourm.itpedia is a project for the dissemination of Italian gastronomic knowledge by gourm.it, a consortium of Italian producers.
