FOOD & DRINK

Lokale producten

In Valle di Ledro there are many different typical products, grown with great passion by our farmers and produced with great care by our artisans.
The most famous one surely is Picco Rosso, the bright red lstrawberry-based liquor, but in the last years many other products joined it: cheeses, vegetables (special mention goes to our purple potato), meat and fish, berries and last but not least the honey of our bees. The most recent addictions are the beer, brewed with the pure and fresh water of Valle di Ledro's springs and wine of local agricultures.

Liquors and fruity syrups

Foletto’s Pharmaceutic Laboratory offers you a vast production of liquors and syrups: in which raspberry, mint, blackberry, currant and marasca cherry are the only most common flavours.
Between the liquors, a special mention goes to Picco Rosso, famous for its high alcoholic strength (61°) and its bright red colour, that recalls the berries used to produced it: strawberries and raspberries. Produced for the first time during the Forties, since then it has been ‘re-invented’ and nowadays it is served in Ledro’s bar and cafès as ‘Picco Spritz’, fresh and original aperitif.

Cheese and other dairy products

Our farmers use only with the freshest milk to prepare their cheese, and there lies the secret of its goodness and authenticity. During every summer their cow move to green mountain pastures, where they find lush grazing land  and fresh, pure air: the best ingredients for scrumptious milk. The dairy production is available either in shops in Valle di Ledro, or directly at the Alpine huts where the farmers live during summer. In these huts you will be able to taste the freshest products and see first-hand how’s the life of a mountain farmer.
