Kaiserschmarrn, a Südtirol speciality

On the sweet front, in the Trentino valleys look out for carrot cakes (torta di carote) or the variously spelled torta di fregoloti, a delectable lumpy shortbread made with chopped almonds. In the Südtirol go for either Kaiserschmarrn, a concoction of sliced pancake with dried fruit and redcurrant jelly, or the ubiquitous Apfelstrudel (sliced apple enveloped in thin filo-like pastry) sold in every bakery, pastry shop and café.

As regards liquid refreshment, homemade cordials may be on offer such as Holunder (elderflower) or even alpenrose. There is a range of high-quality wines – all reds – from the valleys surrounding the Stelvio Park: Lagrein and Blauburgunder from the Bozen basin, Teroldego and Schiava from the Trentino valleys, and fragrant Sassella and Inferno from Valtellina.

Coffee comes in classical Italian style with short black espresso, milky frothy cappuccino or less concentrated caffé latte.
