Traversella

Within Valchiusella, an alpine valley north of Turin, Traversella shapes a unique identity in Piedmont's gastronomic map. This mountainous municipality, home to just over 300 residents, is a key birthplace for specific regional specialties, directly linked to its high-altitude environment and enduring traditions. Among the 13 protected denominations that converge here, the herbal spirit Genepì del Piemonte IG exemplifies this terroir, a liqueur distilled from the distinct artemisia thriving in these very peaks. Furthermore, the rich pastures of Valchiusella impart unique characteristics to cheeses such as Toma Piemontese DOP, ensuring Traversella’s environment is profoundly tasted in its output.
