Dolomite Tastes and Flavours
Bolzano
Magazine: May 2007
What makes the Dolomite mountains unique is a mineral and the fact that they were covered by the sea in ancient times. Alps with the soul of an ocean, like the stone sculptures of an artist, which rise with breath-taking grace and grandeur. Named after the French geologist Dolomieu (1750-1801), who discovered that the mountain range was prevalently made of an unknown mineral called “dolomite”. The people who live here are called Ladini, ancient people descendants of the Rhaetians and Celts, whose language, which contains Italian, French, Spanish, Austrian and German influences, is still spoken and taught at school today.
