If you wonder it there are tortoises and turtles in the Alps: yes there are, we have seen them ourselves in South Tyrol, Italy at Lago di Caldero (Kalterer See), and they can be found in Switzerland in Ticion (Tessin) around Bolle die Magadino. The mild climate of Slovenian Alps, as well as French Sea Alps (Alpes Maritimes or Alpi Marittime) would be a nice place for wild turtles. As we are talking about lots of italian-desceding turtles – Tartaruga Janja can be used to cut Mozzarella as well.

The turtle cookie cutter is made of stainless steel and can be put into the dish washer, contrary to cutters made of tin it won't get stains or rust.
