Mountain potato of the Turin Province

Fri, 05 Aug 2016 15:03:44 GMT

The potatoes started to be planted in Italy beginning in the 19th century, especially in pre-mountain and mountain territories. Rich in carbohydrates, mineral salts, vitamins, folic acid and pantothenic acid, especially for mountain populations, potatoes were found to be a fundamental food resource. In the mountain territories of the Turin province, up to 1800 metres a.s.l., along with the Italian and foreign varieties recently introduced, local selections are still farmed, having precious organoleptic qualities that would be difficult to obtain in the intensive valleys farms, which are enhanced by the altitude. Three years of experimentation have also demonstrated that natural resistance to diseases grows as altitude increases, eliminating the need for phyto-pharmacological treatments.

White Canavese Piattella Bean of Corteggio

Fri, 05 Aug 2016 15:04:49 GMT

The CanavesePiattella is a climbing white Bean with flat shaped grain, characterised by an extremely thin peel, which makes its flavour very particular. Besides making a good impression when selling, since the product is of excellent quality, it is mainly used for a typical Canavese dish, the Pignatta that still finds its best expression in slow wood stove cooking. The Piattella is a cultivation based on quality, recovering traditional production techniques, respecting the territory, the environment and health: a product capable of representing not only a place, but also the people that live there and have always grown it.
