The Trote del Trentino (trouts from Trentino) belong to the rainbow trout species, reared in tanks supplied with water sources that fall within the Autonomous Province of Trento, in the Trentino Alto-Adige region, and in the municipality of Bagolino in the province of Brescia, in Lombardy.
The quality of the water used is decisive for the farming of Trote del Trentino. Water is particularly abundant in this area, thanks to the presence of perennial snowfields and glaciers, with high oxygenation, excellent chemical-physical-biological properties and a low average temperature (below 10° C from November to March).
The combination of frequent rainfall, snow in winter and cool temperatures even in summer creates the perfect environment for trout farming. Thanks to all this, Trote del Trentino have chemical-physical values that are not obtainable in trout farming on the lowlands. Read more
The flesh is white or salmon pink, firm, tender and lean, with a delicate fish flavor and a soft, fragrant fresh-water smell, completely devoid of the muddy aftertaste that is often characteristic of farmed trout. This type of fish is perfect for pan-frying with herbs, roasting with almond flakes, and baking in foil with cherry tomatoes and rosemary.
Today it can also be enjoyed minced in the form of a burger, as a fresh pasta filling or in light ragù sauces for pasta.
