Also, foods changed up to what the farmer cultivated and ut to which was available around lands, free and wild, including game. Starting from those assumptions it is easy to understand how the countryside\u2019s land as well as the mountains\u2019 land was exploiting in according to the territory and its morphology. Furthermore the human skills were over exploited despite few tools.<\/p>\n<p>It was common if there were mountains, in the most steep slopes, herbs were spontaneously grown by the nature and cutted by men, after that dryed \u201cunder the sun\u201d herbs should easily brought downstream to were been stored into haylofts.\u00a0<span style=\"font-style: inherit;\">If there were valley bottoms and lowlands, the simply tasks in cultivating allowed the soils been worked according to intensive and extensive crops.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-style: inherit;\">The \u201cmantra\u201d was simple \u201cfollow the various climatic changes and the morphology of the lands\u201d. Today, on the contrary,the soil is overexploited and with no rest, in according to get the most profitable results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If we compare past and nowadays the big difference is: the nature was once used and not exploited.<\/p>\n<p>Which is written above affect the actual food production. Once the food use was fit to area\u2019s weather, the weather also affect decision about what to produce. For example, consider how butter is used and eaten. The butter is a milk byproduct, which was made especially in the Alps mountains where the climate allowed to exploit cold temperature for storage and people used it to supply energy while working.<\/p>\n<p>Climate and land also affect more warmer places, such as our Southern part of Italy. Here needs were the opposite of those in the Alps or, and for example consumption of butter became really problematic as well as it was problematic to kept it in cool places.<\/p>\n<p>Today everything is overturned, it does not exist anymore, or almost, the use to use food considering climate facts.\u00a0<span style=\"font-style: inherit;\">The Italian agro-food production &#8211; that is listed in the traditional products paper (PAT) &#8211; still exist, even if those products are much lower than commercial ones. Their promotion and how to valorize them should be one of the first concerns of all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Today it is possible to find mozzarella from the Alps, and the sheep butter from Sardinia.\u00a0<span style=\"font-style: inherit;\">We do not have to force the protection of these products and production techniques according to the morphology or the climate of their land. Also we do not have to force in eating that products only in the place of origin. Today we take advantage of rapid transport system, fortunately.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>But, in according to keep protected traditional products, we have to force ourselves for choosing healthier foods, this could mean \u201cproducts like ones were produces over years before\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>I do not have to use my fantasy in saying the marketing and online sales improved product promotion, for sure, even for those products difficult to find. But marketing and online sales made happen changes in how traditions are perceived by customers.\u00a0<span style=\"font-style: inherit;\">Today, we can not reject global trade if we ourselves have globalized our lifestyle and our diet which is moving far away from the Mediterranean diet, the most famous and the most envied.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>But it has to be noticed: Italy is \u201cmade\u201d of traditional foods. If we do not buy these traditional products and if we do not start having them on our tables and diet\u2026 these products will never reach the market they deserve.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-3309040\" style=\"height: 20px; clear: both; width:100%;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-2448899 kc_text_block\">\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u00a0Written by Michele Grassi for Formaggio.it;<br \/>\n(link: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.formaggio.it\/news\/un-tempo-la-natura-era-utilizzata-non-sfruttata\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.formaggio.it<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/dispensadeitipici.it\/network\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/formaggio-it.jpg\" alt=\"formaggio.it\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Formaggio.it &#8211; the ambassador of Italian cheese in the world.
