Piemonte
Magazine: February 2008
Gianduiotti, grissini and Leone lozenges: Turin and its province have a wealth of “tasteful” works of art. A trip to this area is the perfect excuse to combine city attractions with” real life” curiosities of gastronomic origin. A trip to Eataly, the permanent salon of taste is obligatory for visitors to Turin. Seeing how chocolate is made or discovering how to obtain the essential oil of mint is an experience to be remembered. The idea is leave Turin behind and arrive in Pancalieri, where they produce the best mint in the world. An aromatic herb precious for its essential oil, that gives a fresh oomph to toothpastes, syrups and sweets. At Pancalieri, the clay soil is rich in silicon, ideal for medicinal herbs. The Medicinal Peppermint is the undisputed star of the group, known for its extraordinary perfume and taste.
