Valle Aurina: i segreti del Graukäse e i custodi della montagna in Alto Adige (Ep. 08)

Subtitles available in English 🇬🇧. The true essence of South Tyrol lies in the deep respect for nature and the ancient traditions passed down through the centuries. Our reportage explores the Ahrntal (Valle Aurina), an authentic territory where the silence of the woods meets the tenacity of small breeders, true custodians of the mountain landscape. At the Mittermairhof farm in Mühlwald (Selva dei Molini), we discover the rigorous artisanal production of Graukäse, the rennet-free and fat-free "grey cheese", once a humble peasant food and today a local excellence. Between young cheesemakers experimenting with aging using larch bark and needles, as at Eggemoa, and initiatives like "Ski and Cheese" in the Speikboden ski area, the portrait of a proud community emerges. Through international events like the Cheese Festival, this land continues to enhance its roots, safeguarding the future and identity of small farms. 🧀🏔️ Watch the full episode on the 'Un reporter in valigia' YouTube channel (subtitles available).
