I Sapori del Portico

We are delighted to finally host one of the most interesting cheese refiners in the country: Giuseppe Bernardinelli, a simple man, full of passion and experience in the field of cheese refining. His is an art matured over time in the caves of Father Andreino, in Valpolicella in Verona, where colorful molds adorned works of art in mountain huts and mountain stables. A fascinating and timeless technique that distinguished many inhabitants of the Verona hills. An ancient territory among vineyards, olive trees and cypresses that still adorn the sweet landscapes of these places today. A historic Valpolicella, perched up to the first Prealps, the Little Dolomites, the Lessini Mountains. Plateaus ideal for the production of large milk for tasty and creamy tomatoes that are still obtained today from those flowery pastures.
