When you travel, culinary experiences play a key role in discovering a new culture and understanding a place.
The typical dishes, in fact, are not only delights for the palate, but tell stories, traditions and the identity of a community: each bite becomes an opportunity to immerse yourself in the local culture and to live an authentic experience that goes beyond the places to visit.
Typical dishes as cultural expression
Each territory has its own typical dishes, the result of recipes handed down from generation to generation and fresh local ingredients. In Calabria, for example, 'nduja, a spicy spread, and fileja, a homemade pasta, represent the strong and genuine character of local gastronomy.
In the streets of Assisi, the pasta cakes and truffle specialties are an invitation to discover the rich and sophisticated flavors of the Umbrian tradition. In Rome, the famous cacio e pepe or carbonara are not only dishes, but symbols of conviviality, which tell stories of a rich past with different influences.
The food and wine experience
Exploring the local cuisine also means discovering the local wines and drinks, which complete the culinary experience. In Calabria, the Cirò and the Greco di Bianco are just some of the wines that tell the passion for viticulture of the region. In Umbria, the Sagrantino di Montefalco offers an unmistakable flavor, while in Rome you can not taste a good Frascati.
Participating in tastings, visiting wine cellars and farmers' markets is a way to deepen the knowledge of the territory and meet the people who live there, making the trip even more meaningful.
A journey through the flavors
Every trip should include moments dedicated to exploring the local cuisine: restaurants, taverns and markets are ideal places to taste typical dishes and discover the secrets of preparation. There is nothing more fascinating than seeing a chef prepare a traditional dish, or attending a cooking class that offers the opportunity to learn authentic recipes.
