The Aosta Valley is Italy's smallest region, located at the northwestern tip of the peninsula, bordering Switzerland and France. This region is home to the highest peaks in the Alps, including Monte Rosa and Mont Blanc, the most imposing mountain in Europe. Traditional Aosta Valley cuisine features various typical meat-based specialties, such as carbonada, a stew of meat preserved in wine, herbs, and onion, and mocetta, dried ibex or beef flavored with mountain herbs. Another highlight of this region are cured meats, such as Arnad lard, Aosta Valley boudin, a sausage made with lard and boiled potatoes, and Bosses ham, also known as Jambon de Bosses. Also particularly delicious are cheeses such as Valle d'Aosta Fromadzo and the renowned Fontina DOP, exported worldwide and the basis of many recipes such as fondue, enjoyed before or after Valdostana soup, made with cabbage, kale, Fontina, and stale rye bread.
