It only happens every 2 years: Il Salone del Gusto<\/strong> in Turin.<\/p>\n

This year I was able to go to the 7th edition of the Salone del Gusto<\/a>, organized by the Slow Food Organization<\/a> and the Piedmont Regional Authority. This year it took place at Lingotto, just feet away from Eataly<\/a>, so we made a stop there, too.<\/p>\n

Fichi d’India \/ Cactus pears similar to the ones I love and enjoy in Puglia<\/a> – so colorful!<\/p>\n

Of course, it wouldn’t be a food convention without a little gelato. This was from the Gelato dei Presidi di Slow Food. It won’t have its own stop on the Tour del Gelato<\/a>, but the Pistachio from Bronte gelato was excellent!<\/p>\n

\"Gelato<\/a><\/p>\n

There were a lot of interesting, small producers like the makers of this pecorino cheese wrapped in walnut tree leaves and aged. It was almost as good as their cheese aged with wine cultures.<\/p>\n

\"Pecorino<\/a><\/p>\n

Lots of tasting, lots of samples (though some were more abundant than others). Sometimes you needed to find a quiet moment to reflect and plan the next path (and samples) you’d be following.<\/p>\n

\"Tasting<\/a><\/p>\n

Corks decorate the ceiling, a view you might have been entranced by after a few tastings. Like me.<\/p>\n
