Valorizing the dairy products from mountains through their peculiar chemical fingerprint and sensorial properties

Obiettivi
Objectives

RIFORM aims to enhance the transfer of biodiversity of mountain area ecosystems as key factors in imposing unique qualities and nutritional characteristics of milk and cheese. Such outcome can support productions in disadvantaged environments.

Activities

The project will investigate the characteristic chemical profile of the grasslands from mountain areas, and the transfer potential of such compounds to milk and then to cheese. The project will investigate how the use of such grasses as forage can alter che chemical profile of milk and therefore how it can affect organoleptic properties. The final goal is to valorize the dairy products from mountain through the establishment of a link between forages and cheese, to increase competitiveness of mountain areas.
