33. Until the '50s the milk was delivered door to door every day

Ines Armentini and meeting the demand of Simonetta or as it was transported and stored the milk in the fridge before homes.

I get by with two words, but hearing the experts I realized that there escaped a post.

Yes, the milk was being bought every day in the city and the countryside because it could take up to two days, but only if it was cold.

San Giovanni, in the '40s, and until the '50s there was a woman they called "the lataröla," which went from house to house with its content in milk a can of aluminum, which carried on a rough cart. He had a wooden spoon, measuring just half a liter. So pour the milk into containers that prompted the handing of the mothers, usually a glass bottle by the neck off. The lataröla asks families if they wanted to milk the next day and he knew then, roughly, how much milk lead. The same was in the city, where he spent a farmer or farmer's market with its beautiful bins.

This milk was not pasteurized and, normally, you should drink only after it is boiled. I remember instead of an aunt who, knowing my passion for milk when milked the cow, I sprayed it directly into the mouth (and inevitably face), delicious!

In countries where there was the dairy, the mothers sent their children to take milk with a bottle or a small drum that he had an airtight seal. But during the winter months (November to March) the dairy closed. And it was then that the "razdora", another term for Emilia indicate the hostess with the milk of his cows was the cheese, butter and cottage cheese. Many of you, I'm sure, still have the taste in the mouth of this hot freshly made ricotta, which was put on the bread with a tablespoon of whey.

The woman in the past was a tireless worker, full-time and was able not only to tidy up the house, look after children, husband, men and elders of the family, prepare lunch, but to produce food, to look after the cattle, work the fields and produce fabrics for clothing .

Good news: is back in our city's milk day, the freshly milked.

fact, Ines says that in Reggio Emilia, there are now several shops where you can buy milk for the day. A big cow drawn on the window indicates clearly the type of product sold. We are tired of drinking milk that does not know anything, you do not know where and when it was produced and arrives on our plates even after covering 2000 km. These stores certify, however, near the origin and quality of milk: LONG LIVE THE GENUINENESS '
