Part deli, part restaurant, part cheese factory-you can find it all at PER (or Perenzin Latteria as…read morethe cheese factory portion of the property is called). I came in for lunch on a cold, rainy day and PER was the perfect spot to help warm me up and fill my belly with delicious food.
The local cheese selection is impressive if you're looking to take some cheese home with you and much of it is made right there! I opted to start with their local meats and cheese board that was a great value for the price and then a local dish called frico that was hot and gooey and exactly what the doctor ordered. Imagine a mixture of potato and cheese combined together and baked into a crispy masterpiece with a gooey center served over a bed of shredded radish. It may sound a bit weird and look a bit odd when it comes out but trust me it was one of the best things I've ever had in my mouth :) You simply can't go wrong with potatoes and cheese. All of it was of course washed down with a glass of local Prosecco (at only 3 euros a glass).
I realized as I was on the way out that you can actually tour PER's cheese factory and even have a special cheese tasting lunch afterwards. If I'd know I would have definitely taken them up on it. Next time!
