Small Umbria is a casket that collects characteristic gastronomic jewels all along its territory. It is possible to trace the guiding principle of this region's gastronomic traditions in extra-virgin olive oil civilization and in lard's culture.
the best dish for meat lovers is pork, masterfully treated by Umbrian butchers who turn the meat into delicacies like sausages, tasty hams and salami, like those of Norcia, to eat with unsalted bread to bring out the taste.
The best Umbrian strong cheeses are mature pecorino sheep’s cheese and fresh or ripe goat’s milk cheese.
The lentils of Castelluccio di Norcia, a tasty ingredient for soups, main courses or side dished, were awarded the PGI mark by the European Union (Protected Geographical Indication).
This rich array of dishes goes hand in hand with the genuine quality of these foods, including the truffle, the most precious of all the most common variety is the black truffle, very popular with pasta or with game, especially in the area of Norcia and Spoleto, but valuable white truffles can be found too, particularly in the Tiberina Valley, Orvieto and Gubbio.
