Yes I know that the Veneti from the north may seem a bit ... stiff? Austrian? Cold? Whatever!I am half Veneta so I can handle it, starting with POLENTA!
My cousins Giovanna and Saverio asked me what I wanted to eat and I wanted the most traditional staple I could think of: Polenta and Schiz. Schiz is a kind of fresh white cheese, similar to Holloumi. It can not be eaten 'raw' but it needs to be cooked in a frying pan (with no oil) until soft and lightly golden. Butter and cream are usually added once all the water from the cheese has dried up.
A few calories here, I know...but we are in the mountains!
Taa Daa! Polenta e Schiz!
The second pilgrimage is to the Pedavena Brewery, where they make Pedavena and Dolomiti beers.
Here is the brewery....
...and attached to the brewery the birreria (bar/restaurant) where you can get unpastorised Pedavena beer on tap.
Yesssssssssssssss!
