Salva (cheese)

Salva Cheese from Crema is a PDO table cow’s cheese, made of raw pastry, washed crust and mid-or long aging, traditionally consumed in the central plain of Lombardy and produced particularly in the area of Crema, Bergamo and Brescia.

It is also produced in the provinces of Lecco, Lodi and Milan. Salva has many similarities to quartirolo, as well as differences, like longer aging and a major aromatic complexity.

Origin of the name

Its name come from the idea of “salvare il latte”, which is the tradition of using or saving the milk left over from the spring process of cheese-making, which is then used to produce Salva cheese. It is called Salva cremasco although it is more often produced elsewhere, because Crema was the main place of trading and consumption of this cheese, like it has occurred to other kinds of cheese (ex. Bra, Gorgonzola).

History

Its origins date back to the 17th and 18th centuries, when it was already possible to identify on some decorative truckles the cheese profile, which looks like a parallelepiped, with a thin crust and a pastry with very rare holes in the pastry (called "occhiature") and straw-white colour. Salva has a close connection with the seasonal transhumance that the “bergamini” (shepherds from Bergamo) undertook with their cows, coming down from the villages in the valleys of Bergamo and Brescia towards farms in the plain in autumn and ging back in spring. During these trips the milk overproduced, particurarly plentiful in spring, was transformed into "strachì da Salva", so that it could be preserved in the hot season. It seems that the warlord Bartolomeo Colleoni enjoyed this cheese so much that he had some truckles delivered during his military inspections at the fortificatios of Crema.

Pram

Pram or PRAM may refer to:

Pram (ship)

A pram or pramm describes a type of shallow-draught flat-bottomed ship.

They were used in Europe during the 18th century, particularly in the Baltic Sea during the Great Northern War and Napoleonic Wars, as the pram's shallow draught allowed it to approach the shore. They typically carried 10-20 guns on one gun deck, and had either two or three masts. They were the kind of transport Napoleon would have used to cross the English channel.

More commonly today "pram" refers to a small utility dinghy with a transom bow rather than a pointed bow. This type of pram provides a more efficient use of space than does a traditional skiff of the same size. Modern prams are often 8 to 10 feet long and built of plywood, fibreglass, plastic or aluminum.

The Mirror and Optimist sailboats are examples of this form. Other prams are usually oar powered.

The Norwegian pram is commonly made of solid timber with lots of fore and aft rocker with a U shape cross section. In New Zealand and Australia the most common pram is an arc or v bottom rowboat commonly made of 6mm marine plywood often sealed with paint and/or epoxy resin.
