Piedmontese food

Piedmontese food is rich with flavours and history: the piedmontese land’s morphological variety and, as a result, that of its climate, have produced a differentiation in the gastronomy of the various geographical areas of Piedmont.

Not only have the territorial peculiarities produced a varied cuisine, but this was also the result of population, over the past few centuries, spread out over specific social classes: that is why we now have a more common cuisine, of the people, and one more elaborate and richer.

The “cucina povera” entirely mirrors the land and the fruits it provides, whilst the richer cuisine, found in the courts and noblemen’s mansions, has more of a French influence, as Piedmont was under Savoy rule for a long time.
