Typical product

Tremosine lies on an area of high land that falls sheer to the western shores of Lake Garda, with a variety of altitudes, climates, vegetation and, consequently, products.

From ancient times local inhabitants have always enjoyed a very varied diet provided by Nature according to its changing seasons. Despite the passage of time, today the flavours of lake and mountain are still the backbone of local cuisine.

In Tremosine you can still enjoy time-honoured dishes made with fish from the lake: trout, whitefish, pike and carp, perfumed with herbs which grow profusely in the Mediterranean zone. Cheese and charcuterie production methods also cling to their ancient traditions: a co-operative collects milk from its members' stables and alpine pastures and transforms it into high quality cheese.

Abundant flowers in the alpine pastures give the milk a particularly delicious flavour, providing a wide range of specialities for every palate: fresh and mature cheeses, yoghurt, ricotta and butter. Who could resist the cheese flavoured with grated black truffle from the local woods? The same high quality and fine flavour apply to pork products from selected meat processed according to ancient tradition, a vital ingredient of many of our local dishes.

The Tremosine hills are still the habitat of a very varied wild fauna. In the past game was a vital source of nourishment for the local population; today you can enjoy its fine flavour in many different traditional dishes.
