The theme of Salone del Gusto 2010 was "Food +/= Places." Building on the global efforts in recognition of the International Year of Biodiversity, the theme highlights the deep connection between people, the foods they produce, and the lands to which they belong. Embedded in our foods are traces of our history, our culture, and our places of origin.

At the 2010 Salone del Gusto representatives of the Tibetan Yak Cheese Presidium convened with a global community of artisan food producers to share a taste of Tibet and sample some of the world’s most fascinating cultures.
