Pizzoccheri Lunch and Cheese Tasting at Carozzi in Valsassina
Here is what's in store for you
Your experience takes place at the Carozzi Bistrot e Bottega, a few minutes from Lake Como. A member of the hospitality team will welcome you and guide you through a tasting of artisanal cheeses from the Valsassina region, made with cow's, goat's, and buffalo's milk. You will explore a range of fresh and aged cheeses, learning to distinguish their textures and flavors, all served with fruit compotes.
The tasting continues with a hot plate of Pizzoccheri, a traditional dish from the nearby Valtellina. This specialty is made with buckwheat pasta, local cheese, potatoes, and vegetables. The meal is paired with a bottle of Sassella Valtellina Superiore DOCG, a red wine from the Nino Negri winery, served for every two people. Water and coffee are also included. The experience lasts approximately two and a half hours.
