Giuseppina Rienzo comes from Galdo (Pollica). Here she spent part of her life, until 1973, when she moved to Torino, where she discovered the cuisine from Region Piemonte. She missed her native land; her memories were often going back to the smells and flavours of her native land.
She came back to Galdo in 2001, rediscovering the passion for the good and healthy food of Cilento. In the farm holidays “Al Sentiero”, owned by her daughter Gabriella Mazziotti, Giuseppina takes care of her goats. She gives them biological food, and draws milk from them for the preparation of the “cacioricotta” – a typical Cilento cheese.
Giuseppina remembers her childhood also through the dishes that her mother cooked during the celebration days: maccheroni, meat chops and pork.
