🥖🧀 How about a traditional South Tyrolean Marende?🍎🍷

Hearty speck, flavorful local cheese, fresh farmhouse bread and perhaps a glass of South Tyrolean wine – that’s the taste of a true Marende. Whether after a day of hiking, as a relaxing break along the way, or simply because it tastes so good: a Marende is an essential part of any holiday in South Tyrol.😋
