Valtellina Gastronomy: Pizzoccheri, Sciatt & Bresaola

The gastronomic landscape of Aprica is deeply rooted in the rich traditions of Valtellina cuisine. Iconic dishes include 'Pizzoccheri', a hearty pasta made from buckwheat flour, served with cabbage, potatoes, and melted Bitto cheese. 'Sciatt' are crispy buckwheat fritters filled with local cheese, and 'Bresaola della Valtellina' is a renowned air-dried, salted beef, often served as an appetizer. Local red wines from the terraced vineyards of Valtellina perfectly complement these robust flavors, creating an unforgettable culinary journey.
