Gastronomic Routes: Tasting Local Products
Santa Caterina Valfurva, nestled in Valtellina, offers immersive gastronomic experiences focusing on regional delicacies. Visitors can embark on 'gastronomic routes' that involve visiting local producers, dairies, and specialized shops to taste and purchase authentic products such as Bresaola della Valtellina (cured beef), Casera and Bitto cheeses, Pizzoccheri (buckwheat pasta), and local wines from the valley. These routes often include guided tastings and explanations of traditional production methods. Specific shops and agriturismi offer these experiences, providing a deep dive into the culinary heritage of the region. Prices vary depending on the tour or tasting selection.
