More Description"The Cheese Valleys: The Birthplace of the Orobic Cheese-making Tradition" focuses on the Traditional and Creative Knowledge of the Orobic Valleys (Bergamo, Lecco e Sondrio), who have demonstrated, for more than a thousand years of evolution, that cheese is not a mere mixture of ingredients (milk, rennet and salt) or a set of aromas and flavors. Cheese making is instead an anthropological and cultural heritage, made of people, expertise and traditional practices that includes the continuous activity of men and animals which have marked the time and the lives of the peoples of the Orobic Valleys, years after years.Still today the activity of the Knowledge Keepers that live in the Orobic Valleys is a splendid example of circular and sustainable economy, which favors the conservation of a special natural habitat by maintaining the animal husbandry practices, the mountain pastures and their connected ecosystems.
