At the foot of the Alps, this scenario appears in all its contradictions, especially in relation to cheese production. The Heritage Arena focuses on the saga of Strachitunt, a cheese that has been designated an EU Protected Designation of Origin after years of negotiation and competition involving cheese-makers, merchants, and Slow Food activists. The book explores how the reinvention of cheese as a form of heritage is an ongoing and dynamic process rife with conflict and drama.Food, nutrition, and culture ;Volume 5.CheesemakingSocial aspectsItalyBergamo RegionCheese industryItalyBergamo RegionCheesemakersItalyBergamo RegionCheeseVarietiesItalyBergamo RegionSlow food movementItalyBergamo RegionFood law and legislationEuropean Union countriesBergamo Region (Italy)Social life and customsCheesemakingSocial aspectsCheese industryCheesemakersCheeseVarietiesSlow food movementFood law and legislation637/.3Grasseni Cristina622221MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910148571803321The heritage arena2754524UNINA
