So here you are in Italy. You’ve been practicing your vocabulary, and you feel ready to go out and test your skills by doing a bit of shopping.<\/font><\/p>\n

Well, let’s take it nice and easy and begin with il supermercato<\/strong> (the supermarket), that shouldn’t be too difficult because you can just get what you want off the shelves without having to ask too many questions, right?<\/font><\/p>\n

O.K. let’s see what’s at the top of la lista della spesa<\/strong> (the shopping list). Latte<\/strong> (milk), good, nice and easy. Now, where on earth have they hidden it?<\/font><\/p>\n

Ten minutes later:  Accidenti!<\/strong> (damn!), am I going to have to ask someone already?, I’d better work out what I need to say…… ‘scusi, dove si trova il latte per favore?<\/strong> (excuse me, where is the milk please) ……. hmmm yes that sound about right, coraggio<\/strong> (be brave) let’s give it a go. You ask an old man who is filling his carrello<\/strong> (trolley) with olio di oliva<\/strong> (olive oil) that is ‘in offerta’<\/strong> (on offer) this week. ‘Eccolo qua signora \/ signore’ <\/strong>(here it is madam \/ sir) he answers.<\/font><\/p>\n

On the scaffale<\/strong> (shelves) in front of you is a veritable cornucopia of packs and bottles: white bottles with bright yellow labels, green and white cartons, and even blue bottles with red and white labels that look like they should contain candeggina<\/strong> (bleach)! Yes, now that you look more carefully, some of them actually have the word latte<\/strong> written on them. But where to begin?<\/font><\/p>\n

Well luckily you’ve brought Serena’s handy ‘Guida al Latte’<\/strong> (Milk Guide) with you.<\/font><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Tipi di Latte pi\u00f9 Comuni<\/font><\/strong><\/td>\nMost Common Types of Milk<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Latte Intero – minimo 3,5% di grasso<\/font><\/strong><\/td>\nFull Fat Milk – minimum 3.5% fat<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Latte Parzialmente Scremato – tra 1,5 e 1,8% di grasso<\/font><\/strong><\/td>\nSemi Skimmed Milk – between 1.5 and 1.8% fat<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Latte Scremato – meno di 0,5% di grasso<\/font><\/strong><\/td>\nSkimmed Milk – less than 0.5% fat<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Each of the above can be:<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Latte Fresco pastorizzato<\/strong><\/td>\nFresh Pasteurized Milk<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Latte Uht, anche detto ‘Latte a Lunga Conservazione’ – dura intorno ai tre mese.<\/strong> <\/td>\nUHT milk (pronounced ‘oo akka tee’ in Italian)<\/em>, also known as ‘Long Life Milk’ – keeps for about three months<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Latte Microfiltrato – dura intorno alle tre settimane se mantenuto freddo<\/strong><\/td>\nMicro Filtered Milk – keeps for about three weeks if kept cold<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

All of the above are usually Latte di Mucca<\/strong> (Cows Milk), however, you will occasionally be able to buy Latte di Capra<\/strong> (Goats Milk). <\/strong>Alternative milks such as Latte di Riso<\/strong> (Rice Milk) and Latte di Soya<\/strong> (Soya Milk) are available for vegans, or others who for whatever reason cannot digest normal milk.<\/p>\n
