The Piedmontese cooking is flavor and history. The variety of the Piedmont region and its climate has produced a variety in the cuisine of different regions of Piedmont. Not only the morphology of the territory has produced a varied cuisine but also the presence, in the past centuries, a population divided into distinct social classes, this is when you can differentiate a kitchen more "common folk" and poor food and a richer and more elaborate.
The poor cuisine reflects through and around the area and the input it will put at his disposal, while the kitchen richer, its courts and the nobility, has many more French influence, having been the Piedmont area for a long time under the Savoy domain.
Today it denotes a strong interest and an effective promotion by the population of Piedmont cuisine, everything is manifested in the desire to want to see not only recognized the high quality of some raw materials but also of local products such as, for example, the vast number of dairy products.
