Piedmontese Recipes

Piedmontese cuisine hails from northwestern Italy's Piedmont region, where Alpine terrain meets fertile plains in a land of truffles, hazelnuts, and Barolo wine. The cuisine features rich, butter-based preparations, braised meats, and raw-meat dishes like carne cruda. Signature creations include vitello tonnato, bagna càuda, agnolotti del plin, and the famous chocolate-hazelnut tradition that inspired gianduja. Piedmont is Italy's most Francophile culinary region.
