A spectacular and important weekend for the city of Belluno. The protagonist was Belluno’s agriculture and its valuable products, which Coldiretti Belluno wanted to share with
all the citizens and guests visiting the “Shining City” during these days. But these weeks, at a time when the pandemic is taking on dangerous vigour again, the concrete union of
associations, public and private bodies is making it possible to live less difficult moments. And that is no small thing. Coldiretti Belluno has believed in and proposed initiatives of great
importance both for the quality of the products offered by the talented companies and for the promotion of the entire Dolomite territory.
The 15th edition of the Dairy and Alpine dairy cheese competition has now returned, featuring no fewer than 24 producers and 41 different types of cheese. The proposal is a
demonstration of having a concrete and valuable cultural and historical heritage certainly to be preserved.
The competition, organised by Coldiretti Belluno in collaboration with and with the support of the Chamber of Commerce of Treviso – Belluno and the presence of the Strada dei
Formaggi e dei Sapori delle Dolomiti Bellunesi (Cheese and Flavours Route of the Belluno Dolomites), made it possible to showcase and support this heritage, which is also a demonstration
of the passion and skill of the producers.
Sunday in Belluno was an opportunity to taste excellent agricultural products that remain, the best promoters of the territory, – says Chamber of Commerce President Mario Pozza. –
But it was also an opportunity to praise the mountain economy of Belluno, with agriculture at the forefront, which is committed to further development even in the presence of major disasters
such as covid.
In order to give a tangible sign to local agricultural producers, many of whom are young, Coldiretti Belluno proposed 24 companies with 41 cheeses for the competition.
