5 days Canavese Piedmont Culinary Tour: Gateway of the Alps

Welcome to Canavese, borderland at the feet of the Alps of the Piedmont region, a natural gateway between the Italian peninsula and Europe, millenarian crossroads for armies, merchants, pilgrims tracing the routes of the Via Salaria and Via Francigena through the valleys of Mont Blanc and Graie Alps reaching Turin, the capital of the Savoy Reign and the first Italian Capital. Land of fairs and fascinating Celtic populations, then of Roman centurions up to the Middle Ages, when it hosted knights and ladies, heroic characters, passionate rebellions and events shrouded in legend. Land of lakes, hills, forests, castles, protected by the loving arms of the Serra Morenica, amphitheater of the city of Ivrea in which the vineyards enjoy the sweetness of its microclimate, to give the excellence of its wines - such as the Carema Nebbiolo and the Caluso Erbaluce. The cuisine of Canavese has definite flavors: cured meats and Alpine pasture cheeses, Capònet - rolls of Savoy cabbage with meat, stuffed onions with amaretto -, Bagna Caòda - the distinguished anchovy sauce served as a dip for crudités-, Ajucche - wild herbs soup served with bread - ...and this is just a sample of what awaits you!
