There is no need to tell you that Italy is known for its cheese. In fact, formaggio has a strapping hold on the Italian cuisine; whether it’s with pasta, meat, dessert, or wine, it forms a colossal part of the Italian diet. The obsession with this food, however, is not new, as the Italians have been producing it for over a millennium and they have perfected the taste along with a sturdy wine and cheese culture. The history of the food is as rich as the cheese itself. After trying his first morsel of the novelty, Emperor Charlemagne was so enthralled with the new taste sensations that he demanded two cartloads a year for taxes. In fact, in medieval times, the dairy product was actually an acceptable form of payment. Today, Italy produces over 450 types of cheese, some famous and some known only in the basements in which they’re made, but ask any Italian and they’ll tell you that one of the most famous cheeses, as much today as it was hundreds of years ago, is certainly Grana Padano. Hailing from the Po Valley, the coarse and grainy Grana Padano was originally known as “Caseus Vetus,” or Old Cheese because of a long period of maturation that can take anywhere from nine months to several years. It was first documented in 1135 by Cistercian monks, and it eventually came be to called Grana because of its texture, and later Grana Padano to distinguish it by its region of production. It comes from cow’s milk and can be eaten sliced as an appetizer or as a part of a cheese platter and is used in countless recipes, in fact, those in the north of Italy put it in nearly every dish imaginable. Grana Padano has a beginning of much importance. During the middle ages, the terrain of Europe was ravaged by ongoing wars and the people, sought those with money and power to build monasteries. Cistercian monks answered their cries for help, founding abbeys and monasteries on land that had been rendered almost barren and set to work refining the land for farming. The area of the Po River Valley required draining in order to be able to till the soil. In due time, the land was fertile enough to raise livestock and use animals to work the land and as a source of food, one of which was milk. The people enjoyed the fruits of this now rich and productive land, however the monks faced another quandary, an over-abundance of milk which, when not consumed within a short period of time, went sour. To solve the problem they began to churn the milk to make butter, and the product could then be stored for much longer. In the process they eventually found a new and even more effective preservation method; they discovered how to churn milk into a brilliant new product, cheese. At first, only soft and creamy cheese was made, but the monks, experimenting with their new found art, learned that removing the curds produced a harder, longer lasting version, which came to be known as Grana. Interestingly enough, somewhere along the line the monks discovered that the churned milk, long before it turned to butter, was light and frothy and when added to coffee it made a superb beverage; they had created the cappuccino that we know and love today. Cappuccino literally means “little hood” in Italian and takes its name from the hoods worn by monks, but that’s another story. By the end of the twelfth century, Grana had achieved fame throughout the Lombardy region, so much so that the citizens from the towns of Parma and Reggio wanted the recipe for themselves. Rather than just copying the recipe, though, they added their own special touch and created a slightly different type of Grana. The textures are identical, however the tastes differ slightly because Parmigiano was originally aged in caves near Parma in the Apennine Mountains. The two Grana cheeses took different names in respect to their towns, one is now known as Grana Padano (after the Padan Plain) and the other as Parmigiano Reggiano. Today, this Parmigiano Reggiano, anglicized as “Parmesan,” is more widely known outside of Italy simply because Parmesan is the generic name nonItalians use to describe Grana-type cheeses, whether produced on the Padan Plain or in the Kraft Factory. Somehow, the distinction between the two cheeses has been lost abroad, but if you question an Italian, the two are not to be confused. Today Italian cheeses are known globally, and although the Italians pride themselves on the early production of formaggio, they are certainly Grana Padano: a champion cheese not the first to have produced the creamy food product as the first documentations of cheese actually date back to the year 2300 BC and were found in the pyramids of Egypt. However hearing the words “Egyptian cheese” isn’t as likely to get tourists salivating like its Italian counterpart, and the Italians will argue fervently that their cheese tops all. Citizens in the Lombardy region are proud of their Grana Padano, and although you might think the plastic container of pre-grated Parmesan Cheese in your refrigerator is a tolerable imitation, the taste of real Grana Padano can only be found in the Po Valley. A trip to the region to sample the Grana would not be unthinkable, and anyone who’s eaten there will tell you that the taste is definitely worth the trouble.

There are large interchange car parks at the stations Lampugnano, Bisceglie (MM1), Cascina Gobba, Famagosta (MM2), open 7.0001.00 (overnight parking possible). To get to the Rho Fiera trade fair district during fairs you can buy a return ticket at €5 (Andata/ritorno Rho Fiera) or a day ticket (Giornaliero fiera) €7. The normal one or two day ticket is not valid for getting to Rho Fiera. For public transport info, toll-free info at 800.808181 (7.30-19.30), www. atm-mi.it. The “Radiobus” service, operating from 20.00 to 02.00, is like a collective taxi service. A very comfortable air-conditioned minicoach picks you up and takes you where you want to go. You have to book by phone Don’t miss Apulia’s treasures Apulia “trulli” Apulia food Apulia sea Apulia vacations www.mtvpuglia.it at 02.4803.4803, preferably well in advance – say a few hours – or even just before your trip, but in this case you run the risk of not getting a place as well as spending ages listening to a recorded message. Cost €4 if you pay on the bus, less if you buy the ticket (ordinary ATM ticket + Radiobus ticket, total €3.50) in advance. This service may seem complicated, but it is so convenient and comfortable that it’s well worth the effort. • Railways Most trains leave from the Stazione Centrale. Train information can be obtained from the information office at the station, or by phone, 892021, or best of all by Internet (www. trenitalia.com). Remember that any train ticket should be franked using the yellow machines situated at the near end of the platforms, just before boarding the train. A return ticket should be franked again before the return journey. If you forget, you will be fined! If you do forget, find the conductor on the train as soon as possible, and the fine will be reduced. For many trains, seat booking is obligatory. In any case it is a good idea to buy your ticket early (at least the day before) and book your seat (small extra charge). Saves frustration queuing while your train is about to depart. Be sure to claim your booked seat within ten minutes after departure. For the differently abled and people with sight problems, there is a phone number for the whole of Italy: 199.30.30.60, operating every day, 7.00-21.00. Ferrovie Nord trains leave from Cadorna and run to various locations north of Milan, including the lakes and Malpensa airport. See www.lenord.it • Safety and security In Milan, like most large cities, there is a problem of small time theft. Take care of personal possessions at all times! Don’t leave your bags unattended even for a moment, particularly in crowded locations like Piazza Duomo and Galleria Vittorio Emanuele. Also take care in and around the Central Station, and when on trams and metro during the rush hour. If, at the station or airport, someone approaches you and offers you a taxi, this is not the normal taxi and it will cost much more. This is happening particularly at Linate airport, the taxi turns out to be a chauffeur-driven car with a bill to match. Beware of buying fake merchandise on the street, it will be low quality and it’s also against the law. People selling roses in restaurants have nothing to do with the restaurant, just say no (unless you want one, of course!). If you give money to the many beggars in the city and on the Metro trains you are financing organized crime. • Taxis It is almost impossible to stop a taxi on the street in Milan: you have to locate one of the taxi-ranks (see map pages), or call one of the radio taxi firms (02.4040, 02.8585, 02.4000, 02.6969). A few taxis accept credit cards. If in doubt about price, ask the driver for an estimate before setting off. On-line estimates at www.milanotaxi.it • Telephones The 02 dialling code for Milan is incorporated into phone numbers. If you are calling Italy from abroad, you have to include the “0” of this prefix, ie +39.02. (number). Numbers starting 339, 347, 348 etc. are for mobile phones, these calls cost more. Numbers starting with 0 are for fixed phones, 1 for public utilities (police etc.), 3 for mobiles, 8 for toll-free numbers. • Ticket info: Teatro alla Scala The ticket office is in Duomo metro station. It is open every day 12.00-18.00 (closed public holidays and August). Payment in Euro cash or by credit card.
