The gourm.itpedia word of the week is:
Transhumance
/tran-su-màn-za/
A complex of seasonal migrations of livestock from lowland pastures to mountainous regions and vice versa.
Gaetano Caruso, owner of the Caseificio Centroform, tells how the shepherding tradition and transhumance still constitute a key element of Sicilian cheese production.
Gourm.itpedia is a project for the dissemination of Italian gastronomic knowledge realised by gourm.it, a consortium of Italian producers.
