CES 2417 - Northern Italy's Cuisine

Northern Italian cuisine reflects the pride of the region's people in their unspoiled countryside, rivers and streams. It is characterized by less use of olive oil, pasta and tomato sauce and more use of butter, rice and polenta mix, and cheeses for creams sauces. Enjoy the mild-tasting, creamy, meat-rich, nutritious dishes inspired by the philosophy, "If it grows well in the area, it is usually on the plate."*
