Food and drinks

Trentino has several gastronomic specialties to offer, ranging from high-end wines and cured meats to delicious malga cheeses

An enogastronomic holiday in Trentino is a truly unforgettable and mouth-watering experience. The region's typical products are all of natural origin and have unique aromas and flavours. Its wines and grappa, for instance, are produced from high-quality grapes. The mild climate is perfect not only for viticulture, but also for apple cultivation, especially in the Val di Non, the Alto Garda and the Valsugana.

Cheesemaking is a craft boasting a centuries-long tradition, and local producers still use traditional methods. Trentino's most renowned cheeses include Trentingrana, Spressa delle Giudicarie and Vezzena. Typical cured meats are Ciuiga del Banale, Mortandela della Val di Non and Carne Salada. The Polenta is an essential part of Trentino's cuisine and can be prepared in many different ways. You are spoilt for choice!
