This relatively young Italian region bears the culinary influences of neighbouring Germany, with potatoes, apples, cabbages and smoked meats as essential as tomatoes, olives and pastas are in the rest of Italy.
Polenta— the great peasant staple— is a Trentino favourite, as is speck, a wood smoked country bacon flavoured with herbs and spices.
