Cheese by Il Bagnolo, Craftsmanship from Lake Garda
Among the hills that surround and accompany the shores of Lake Garda stands at the height of Salò the Agriturismo il Bagnolo, an artisanal reality run by Giacomo.
Here he keeps to the true spirit of agritourism, that is, the firsthand production of what is offered to guests; we are lucky enough to have here in Winearchy the cheeses produced by Giacomo himself.
With the exception of the very fresh ones, these are raw milk products, where one can therefore feel in the concrete the difference of the pasture and the seasons, so that there is an intensity of flavor found only in non-standardized products.
The cows of the Bruna Alpina breed graze freely here; in fact, only and exclusively milk from their own production is used for the production of Bagnolo cheeses, so as to guarantee a virtuous chain that always gives importance to animal welfare.
Production starts from Paglierina, or a similar robiola cheese with a fresh vein, a delicate flavor and a creamy texture, to the aged Passo di Spino, which offers intense notes of pasture and an enveloping texture on the palate, to Blu del Garda Riserva, an aged blue cheese with a lingering, soft flavor that nonetheless manages not to tire the palate excessively.

Pretzhof, Sausages from an Authentic South Tyrolean Farm 🏔️
In South Tyrol, smoking is a true art, here small producers have been handing down techniques and secrets for generations.
What used to be done for internal family needs has now simply expanded-this is the philosophy that Pretzhof follows.
Karl (Pretzhof) is the man who founded the company and reference of the reality, he is personally dedicated to every step, from production in the slaughterhouse, to smoking to selling.
All stages are followed with the utmost care, first and foremost the choice of animals, mostly from the farm's own in-house herd or at the limit chosen from small neighboring high mountain breeders.
Even the rhythms are natural, the growth phases are followed and respected without forcing so as to guarantee animal welfare and consequently the highest quality of the product.
Speck from good South Tyrolean tradition is the highlight of the charcuterie, one of the keys starts with the feed, which must be dry and not too fatty in order to have a perfect balance in seasoning
The spicing is also well calibrated, not too invasive and in the right measure so that it does not cover but enhances the flavor, as is the smoking, which is still done strictly with wood.
Last but not least is the curing process, Prezthof's natural stone cellars at 1300 meters above sea level will house the speck for a minimum of one year, so that it will be perfect for tasting.
