HOW WE SHIP TYPICAL FRIULIAN PRODUCTS

Along with Trentino Alto Adige and Valle d'Aosta, it is the third region with a special status in Northern Italy. Its history is indeed written in the blood and divisions of the peoples. The 20th century was a sad story that hit the Friulian lands and people indelibly. But the Friulian people are famous for their strength, the courage to rise again, to overcome adversity. The earthquake of 1976 demonstrated that the Friulian spirit is indomitable, and in its DNA, there is no word for defeat or resignation.

The hills where today the finest white wines in the world are produced, Collio, after World War I, were a heap of rubble and death. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers died among the peaks razed to the ground and literally altered by bombings. Today, they are one of the most suggestive places in the Italian vineyard. Trieste is a noble lady, charming and modern. Daughter of the world and mother of peoples. A natural border between the western Mediterranean cultures and Slavic culture. Ancestral divisions that only she can transform into Central European culture and in strong ties among the women and men of young Europe.

Trieste is the coffee port and this peculiarity has never been lost from its glory in the era of the Most Serene Venetian Republic. Here passes almost the entirety of Italian and European coffee. Illy, Hausbrandt, Segafredo, Lavazza, and all the others load their blends of coffee coming from east and west, right here, from these Trieste wharves. The Friuli Venezia Giulia already in its name splits its territory into three areas: the part adjacent to the Veneto region and the province of Venice, with Pordenone, the Friulian region bordering the Carso and Istria, between Gorizia and Trieste, and the Giulian area of the mountains and the Julian Alps. Up there where Collio climbs to the border with Slovenia and reaches Tarvisio at the borders of Austria.

Not only wine, Friuli is a region rich in typical products and traditional products. The art of curing pork legs is one of the most important production markets in Italy. Cormòns, Sauris, San Daniele, and many other locations tell stories related to the production of Raw and smoked hams to be sliced with a knife in vice. San Daniele DOP has become the competitor, although it is not a correct term, of Parma DOP. Its intensity of aromas and flavors and its sapidity are a testimony to different climates and pork traditions. And the presence of a constant sea breeze that characterizes the entire valley leading up to Tarvisio. A region that has sea, plain, and mountain. The right peak of our Beautiful Country. Long golden beaches stretching up to Grado and the beautiful Aquileia, the final destination of the ancient Roman road Postumia.

In this highly diversified territory, there are not many certified products, while there are multiple traditional products and Slow Food Presidia. Among cheeses, the true typical cheese of Friuli is Montasio DOP and Carnia. A cheese that is part of the ancient dairy tradition of the alpine foothills extending from the Julian Alps to the Orobie Alps.
