Northern Italian Cuisine

Centered in the Trentino-Alto Adige region, Northern Italian cuinse is a result of varying cultural influences and geographic environment. Since its beginnings in the 12th century, both Italian and German cultures co-habited this area. This dualism remains today and is evident in everything from the town’s bilingualism to its cuisine.

Surrounded by mountains, the land has limited exposure to sunlight. Therefore, earth-grown vegetables like potatoes and cabbages are grown. Butter is used in cooking over olive oil, and hearty rich dishes prevail. Brown sauces derived from meat are more common than the tomato sauces prevalent in the south of the country where the sun shines for much longer during the year.
