The alpine pasture, the milk and its products

For conscious consumption of dairy products with raw alpine milk

In Trentino, about 300 alpine dairies produce mountain milk that is either processed directly at the place of origin or delivered to dairies in the valley.

This practice is rooted in local tradition, where butter and alpine cheeses are produced using only raw milk, that is, withoutany heat treatment.

THIS CHOICE PRESERVES AND ENHANCES THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE LAND

Raw milk transfers to the cheeses the aromas and scents of the grasses and flowers of the alpine pastures, safeguards the work of the shepherds and the skill of the cheesemakers, who, with ancient gestures, transform the milk into unique forms.

AN AUTHENTIC EXPRESSION

The production of alpine cheeses and butter is not only an economic activity, but an authentic expression of local identity and culture, passed down from generation to generation.

HIGHLY INADVISABLE FOR CHILDREN UNDER 10 YEARS OF AGE

Raw milk products are not suitable for people with a developing or compromised immune system. Therefore, it is not recommended for frail persons, pregnant women and the elderly, and highly inadvisable for children under the age of 10.
