CUISINE AND LOCAL PRODUCTS FROM THE FELTRINO AREA:

eltre (Feltre): fum, fam, fret - fava (broad beam), formenton (wheat) e fasolet (beans)"! This very old saying describes the Feltrino territory. It must date back to very ancient times since already two centuries ago broad bean had been replaced in almost all the territory by potatoes, wheat by maize and the real beans, the ones known today as the sublime Lamon beans, had replaced the poor "fasolet" almost everywhere.

ew plants from America brought a real revolution in the feltrino area. As a consequence, agriculture, human landscape and farmer's lifestyle changed completely by adopting new diet rules and new recipes. As a matter of fact, we know very little of the old cuisine as well as of the food traditions before the 17th century.
