Altitude sharpens the logic of the pantry. Milk becomes cheese, yoghurt and butter; meat is salted, dried or slowly cooked; grain and pulses are stored against a winter that cannot be treated casually.

Cheese changes from valley to valley because animals, herbs, seasons and cellars change. Honey records another map of flowering plants. The region’s richness is not excess but concentration — summer carried carefully into cold weather.
