  • Summary

  • Lombardia, a northern Italian region, is renowned for its rich and hearty cuisine, deeply influenced by its alpine geography and agricultural heritage. Iconic dishes include Risotto alla Milanese, a luxurious saffron-infused rice dish often paired with Ossobuco alla Milanese, tender braised veal shanks topped with gremolata. The region’s love for polenta shines in Polenta Taragna, enriched with butter and cheese, and Pizzoccheri della Valtellina, a buckwheat pasta cooked with cabbage, potatoes, and Casera cheese. Lombardia also excels in meats with specialties like Cotoletta alla Milanese, a golden fried veal cutlet, and Cassoeula, a comforting winter stew of pork and cabbage. Its cheeses, including Taleggio, Bitto, and the world-famous Gorgonzola, are staples in both cooking and cheese boards. Desserts like Panettone, a festive sweet bread, and Torrone di Cremona, a honey and almond nougat, showcase the region’s sweeter side. From rustic stews to refined pastries, Lombardia’s cuisine reflects a perfect blend of tradition, innovation, and robust flavors.
