Our territory is known for the beauty of its landscapes, for its strong traditions, for its exceptional craftsmanship, but it would be nothing without its rich and varied gastronomy. Coming from agriculture or taken directly from what the surrounding nature brings us, our local products will awaken your taste buds and make you discover what makes the identity of our territory and our terroir. Here is a small classification, not exhaustive of course, of the main specialties that you can taste on the spot, the opportunity to make your mouth water.
