Italian Cuisine

There are many traditional food but the most famous (and tasty!) are:

Caciocavallo: hand-made cheese matured for up to 2 years

Pampanella: it’s very common in the festivals and fairs, it’s a tasty paste made from roast pork. It gets its characteristic red colour from the addition of chilli-pepper;

Sopressata and Ventricina: typical salami made from the finest, leanest cuts of pork. It’s served sliced in the traditional antipasto together with the caciocavallo and mozzarella.

Wines: the autochthonous Tintilia grapes was considered to be of excellent quality for centuries.
