Tomini with Green Sauce — Typical dish of Turin
Typical dish of Turin

Tomini with Green Sauce

Small tomini cheeses, white, fresh, and compact, arranged on a plate and covered with a bright parsley green sauce. The contrast between the milky creaminess of the cheese and the lively savoriness of bagnet verd – with anchovies, capers, and garlic – creates an intense yet elegant balance. At the first bite the tomino is delicate and slightly tangy, immediately enlivened by the aromatic sauce. It is one of the most typical appetizers in Turin’s osterias, often served with rustic bread or grissini.

Why it matters

Tomini with green sauce tell the story of the simple and convivial soul of the Piedmontese table. In Turin they are an essential appetizer in historic trattorias, where green sauce accompanies boiled meats, cold cuts, and cheeses. The dish represents the local cuisine’s ability to transform humble ingredients into a small gastronomic ritual of the city.

Origin story

Tomino is an ancient cheese widespread in the Piedmont countryside, produced in small rounds since the Middle Ages. The pairing with bagnet verd – the famous Piedmontese green sauce made with parsley and anchovies – originated in rural tradition as a way to enrich simple dishes. Over time it became a classic appetizer in Turin’s osterias, a symbol of conviviality and regional cuisine.
