The gourm.itpedia word of the week is:
Terroir
/teru̯àr/
In oenology, the relationship that binds a grape variety to the microclimate and mineral characteristics of the soil in which it is grown; it determines the character and uniqueness of the wine that is produced.
For Enrico Rosso, owner of Caseificio Pierluigi Rosso, cheese is a cultural product: every bite tells of the terroir that created it, its history, its nature, the way people live. Like Goliardo, a cheese that unites and blends the fragrances and culture of viticulture and mountain pasture farming.
Gourm.itpedia is a project for the dissemination of Italian gastronomic knowledge by gourm.it, a consortium of Italian producers.
