The cold weight of a fresh piece of butter in your hand. The spicy aroma that rises when a matured salami is cut. The granular break of a Parmigiano Reggiano that has aged longer than some wines lie in the cellar. Freshness is the category in which craftsmanship can be tasted most clearly.
Bordier Butter – Brittany
Jean-Yves Bordier still kneads his butter with a wooden paddle on granite in Saint-Malo. Churned butter with yuzu, Piment d'Espelette, seaweed or smoked salt – each variant has its own character, each piece shaped by hand. A butter that is an experience on bread alone.
Cavola 993 – Parmigiano Reggiano from the Apennines
At an altitude of 993 meters in the Apennines, the small cheese dairy Cavola 993 produces its mountain Parmesan. 13 months, 24, 30, 40 – each ripening stage a different cheese. The young one is mild and milky, the 40-month-old one is crystalline, salty, complex.
A piece of Parmigiano, a drop of balsamic vinegar and a glass of red wine – sometimes that's all an evening needs.
Macelleria Falorni and Metzgerei Steiner – Salami with Provenance
Tuscan salami from Macelleria Falorni comes from Greve in Chianti: truffle salami, fennel salami, wild boar salami – each with the character of Tuscany. From South Tyrol, Metzgerei Steiner supplies Kaminwurzen, Speckwurzen and Hirschwurzen, which taste of mountain air and smoke.
