Ticino's gastronomy

From a gastronomic point of view, the Ticino is a region with a high profile, and its culinary delights are known far beyond the Canton. It is luxuriously blessed with good restaurants which you can find in those guides attributing stars, hats and suns to the best places. This land of great chefs looks back on a Medieval, Martino from Blenio’s Valley (who was chef for the mighty Sforza dynasty), or Lorenzo Delmonico and Alesssandro Filippini (who were celebrated for their art in the USA), Joseph Favre (founder of the Académie culinaire de France who reigned in the kitchens of the Park Hotel in Lugano the end of last century) and finally the great, unforgettable Angelo Conti Rossini and the other fine cooks who were awarded Michelin stars.Of course there’s more to life than Haute Cuisine: in the grottoes and canvetti (simple rural taverns in typical Ticinese architecture), mainly local menus making use of the country’s products ore offered that wouldn’t have quite the same qualities elsewhere.

Ticino's Grotto's

Nothing is more typical of life in Ticino than the grottoes, simple taverns in quiet hideaway places, under the shade of trees. They usually consist of a kitchen and a generous garden with solid granite tables and benches, where everybody sits in the coolness of the trees, drinking and eating the products of the local cuisine: homemade, air dried sausages like salami and mortadella, the vegetable sop minestrone, busecca, risotto, marinated fish, vitello tonnato, (cold and warm) roast beef with salads and fried potatoes, polenta and joint of roast beef, rabbit stew, cazzöla (savoy cabbage and pork), mushrooms, a choice of hard and creamy cheese; zabaglione, breadcake, and peaches marinated in wine for dessert. The Merlot, Nostrano or Barbera, with Gassosa – a local lemon soda – tastes best in a typical boccalino.

Grappa Ticinese

The grappa is actually a fermented marc, pure or gainet with the "American" type wine yeast. Over 200.000 litres of grappa are produced of which only one half actually gets on the market. Three distilling methods prevail; steam pressure (about 10), Bain Marie (about 50), and the open fire (more than 600). Within two to three hours, 50 litres of must turn into 10 litres of grappa of 50 grad of alcohol volume. There are about 10.000 producers in the Ticino and the Federal Authorities monitor the entire production with a watchful eye, and as taxes on the grappa are relatively high, only good quality grappa is realy worth making. The best Ticino Grappa receives a Quality label.

Nocino Ticinese

The Nocino, a traditional nut liquor is better known under the name "Ratafià”, (“rata fiat”, meaning: “it’s done!”). Only nuts picked before June 25 th (San Giovanni) make their way into a mysteriously prepared liquid on a grappa basis, where they remain for a while to transfer their qualities to the alcohol. Only a few families, the monks of Bigorio and a couple of companies who are in the "“atafià"”business know all its secrets.

Ticino's Merlot wine

In the year 1905, the Merlot wines arrived from the Bordeaux region, and were cultivated in many places. They thrived well, and today 85% of the 900 hectares of vineyards are covered by Merlot – yielding 4000 to 6000 tons of grapes, just about 4 million litres of good Merlot del Ticino.This wine shows a ruby colour; has a subtle perfume, is elegantwith a rich body, and comes guaranteed by the label ViTi. It should also be noted that the “controlled denomination of origin (D.O.C) was introduced in 1997. The largest veneyards can be found in the Mendrisiotto, the southern part of the Canton, especially in the two villages of Castel San Pietro and Stabio. Merlot is basically a red vine, but increasingly the rosato and white vine can be offered (for a brighter couloring, the skin has to be removed from the fermenting juice). Some of the winegrowers also age the wine in oak barrels of 225 litres. Ticino has a great number of bars and restaurants for winetasting purposes. They are usually very well stocked with wines from Switzerland and other countries, including a fine selection of Merlot.


	Ticino's culinariy festivals

	Troughout the year, many events are organised featuring the local cuisine – and beyond. With their culinary festivals (often during seven or fifteen days), some restaurants and hotels honour the traditions of different regions or countries. The Ticinese newspapers and the local tourist offices give useful information about this rich choice. The official events featuring the local cuisine: TRE VALLI: “Maggio Gastronomico (May)” BELLINZONA: “every Saturday” BRISSAGO E RONCO S/ASCONA: “May - November” MENDRISIOTTO E BASSO CERESIO: “1/2 April ½ May” / October


	Salmì di manzo (for 4 persons recipe)

	Ingredients: 800 g shoulder of beef Marinade: 1/2 l Barbera Wine, various vegetables (carrots, onions, celery), thyme, marjoram, 5 laurel leaves, 3 cloves, 3 juniper berries, rosemary. Plus butter, onions, pepper, salt, and a spoonful of cornstarch. Preparation: Cut the meat in small pieces and leave it for 3-5 days in the marinade after adding the vegetables and herbs; then take it out of the liquid, drain it, and brown it in butter together with the coarsely cut onion. Add the vegetables of the marinade and simmer. Heat the wine separately and add it to the salted and peppered meat. Replace the lid and keep on moderate heat for 4 hours. Finally add the cornstarch after dissolving it in cold water. This recipe also works for other types of meat, and is often served with polenta.

	Breadcake, This is the Ticino dessert “par excellence”.

	Ingredients: 300 g of old bread, 5 amaretti, 1 l of milk, 1 egg, 1 pinchof salt, 1 lemon (juice and skin), 150 g sugar, 1 spoonful of cocoa, 1 small glass of garppa nostrana, 200 g sultanas, 1 vanilla bean, 50 g candied lemon peel, 50 g pine nuts, butter. Preparation: Soak the bread in the hot milk for 4 hours (better: whole night), mash it with hands and add the other ingredients (without pine nuts and butter).
