A Firenze – In Florence

Bought directly from the producer on my way to Pavia. Different kinds for different recipes.
Fontina, Toma and Raclette bought locally, and the famous Lardo d’ Arnad, “better than the (more famous) lardo di Colonnata”.
I missed the last leg (back to Crest) as I had reached my limits. From Alpenzu Refuge I just walked down to Gressoney.
I am walking in the Alps, today hopefully in front of the Monte Rosa, and I noticed I am the only one dressed with cotton. Everybody else has got this fringe ‘technical’ mountain-wear ultimately made of plastic. Barbarians.
The best I have ever tasted. In the photo is not very visible the juicy sauce underneath.
Sort of salted crepes submerged in melted cheese, coming straight from the oven. Nobody can wait for them to cool a bit. More than one got major palate’s burns. But it was worth it …..
‘Polenta for old people’, it was so good that I finished it before taking a photo…..
NB in July I will travel through Italy from Aosta to Maratea and at each stop will try to find a local specialty to present.
Sort of local bresaola, made by beef meat, cutted very thin. In the photo accompanied by tasty ‘fontina’ and fresh focaccia, of course.
