Discover Lombardy's typical Italian products with a delicious platter of local cured meats and cheeses: cured meats include Bresaola della Valtellina, Salame Milanese, Salame d'Oca di Mortara PGI, and Coppa di Mantova. Cheeses include some of Italy's finest, such as Grana Padana DOP, Gorgonzola, Taleggio, Stracchino, Formai de Mut DOP, Salva Cremasco, and Bitto Storico. Among the first courses, risottos are famous, such as Milanese risotto with saffron or Mantuan pumpkin risotto; pizzoccheri from Valtellina, made with buckwheat flour and topped with cabbage, potatoes, melted butter, and cheese; casoncelli from Brescia and Bergamo, ravioli with a filling that varies depending on the area; and pumpkin tortelli from Mantua.
