Lush grass from the mountain meadows, wild flowers, fresh air and spring water: these are the ingredients that make mountain milk so great. And what’s more, in the expert hands of breeders and dairy farmers, the milk is also transformed into high quality butter and cheeses.

The “Latte in Festa” dairy festival is a fantastic way to discover the world of milk and its derivates, from the dairy farm to the kitchen table, through a range of initiatives: 11 appointments across Trentino.

Walks, games and children’s workshops, shows, guided treks and, of course, tasting events. Undisputed protagonist of all these appointments remains without doubt the unmistakeable flavour of the cheese and dairy products of the Trentino Alps.

Terme di Comano, 7 - 9 June 2019
