Because of local environmental conditions, mountain agriculture can never hope to produce crops in competitive
quantities.
However, by exploiting the specificities of the land, it has developed and still uses methods aimed
at producing exclusive, high-quality products.
Such products can nonetheless achieve market success because they
have the added value of being special; they are not comparable with the standardised produce which results from
the use of modern technologies and globalisation systems common to all product sectors.
Local, characteristic
products are the result of the fine, long-established skills of country folk who - partly through ability but
chiefly because of need - try to exploit local resources as much as possible, producing foodstuffs and other
products whose authenticity and wholesomeness are highly appreciated.
This is why the butter and cheese made in
our valley have the perfumes of mountain-pasture herbs and flowers.
