White or yellow: it is a matter of flesh.

In the past you could distinguish potatoes according to the colour of their flesh: the yellow ones were waxy and firm, while the white ones were floury and starchy. The first ones could be boiled and fried, while the second ones were more suitable for mashed potatoes, gnocchi and rissoles. Today, many hybrid varieties have partly destroyed this distinction. The “Association for the promotion and protection of the potatoes of the Belbo valley” was founded with the aim to protect the special characteristics of the potatoes cultivated in this area.

The trail extends over the lands where this produce is cultivated. It is a very versatile ingredient of the local cuisine, and “Her Majesty the Potato” plays a leading role in many suggested menus.
