DI CHE PASTA SEI FATTO?
Mozzarella, stracchino, caciocavallo: three cheese, three different texture! How do they make it? This tour will let you understand which characteristics diversify the various kind of cheese; stand after stand the producers will explain the production chain behind their product, unveling the secrets that leads to these delicious variations.
DAVIDE VS GOLIA
A small producer who sells 150 wheels of cheese per year has a production chain which is completely different from a million-products producer, but we might not know which are the real aspects that diversify the two. This tour will solve your doubts, allowing you to speak with very very small producers and giants, analizing their differences in the selection of raw materials, the manufacturing and the trade.
PARLA COME MUNGI
We’re hearing a lot of the so called natural cheese, but a few know what that “natural” really stands for. There is a lot of misinformation about labels and certifications, which are often difficult to understand and with coded writings. In this tour around Cheese’s stands we’ll be in direct conctact with the producers and we will discover not only how to read a label, but also how to know the raw materials’ origin, the production chain, how to identify a cheese with no ferments, what is vegetal rennet and lots more.
PUNK CHEESE

This tour wants to bring you to discover the most particular and unusual products, stand by stand the producers will tell you their story and the manufacturing that make them able to create their punk-cheese! A tour with italian and foreign cheese, in which amazement and curiosity will be the main characters for the whole journey!
h 3 – 4 pm, CONFERENCE: CHEESE IN ITALY FROM THE MEDIEVAL TO THE MODERN AGE. THE HISTORY OF A CHANGING REPUTATION
Today, high-quality cheese is well-appreciated and we dedicate attention and care, and even events such as this one, to it. However, this wasn’t always the case. This conference, held by Antonella Campanini, professor of History of Cusine and Food Culture, will present the most recent history of cheese, in order to find the moment in which its reputation started to take a turn for the better towards the positive one that persists today.
