Traveling is not just about exploring breathtaking landscapes, but also about immersing yourself in the authentic flavors of a place. Each traditional dish holds stories, traditions, and secrets that tell the soul of a region. At our resorts, we offer the opportunity to enjoy unique culinary experiences. Here are some recipes that embody the essence of Italian tradition.
Pizzoccheri: perfect for mountain lovers
For mountain enthusiasts, pizzoccheri are a symbol of Valtellina. This ancient dish originates from Teglio, in the province of Sondrio, and uses buckwheat, a grain present in these lands since the 14th century. The preparation involves simple yet flavorful ingredients: savoy cabbage, potatoes, Casera cheese, and seasoned butter. This dish speaks of the Alps’ authenticity and warmth, ideal for warming your heart after a day on the trails.
Porcheddu: authentic flavor for sea adventures
Switching to seaside adventures, we must mention Porcheddu, a dish embodying Sardinia’s millennial tradition. The suckling pig, slowly roasted on a bed of myrtle leaves, is a true ritual celebrating the island’s pastoral culture. Every bite is a burst of flavors reminiscent of the wild scents of the Mediterranean scrub. Experiencing Sardinia isn’t complete without tasting this delicacy.
Orecchiette with turnip tops: a delight for southern explorers
A symbol of Apulian cuisine, orecchiette with turnip tops has a history rooted in the Middle Ages. Ideal for those who love discovering the territory while cycling through the Salento’s paths, these little pasta delights were prepared and preserved for long sea voyages. The recipe’s simplicity – a mix of turnip greens, olive oil, garlic, and anchovies – hides a depth of flavor that turns each bite into a journey through Puglia’s colors and aromas.
