Every celebration has its traditional dishes.

The pork festival, for example, combines the ‘jumniliare’ celebration with the taste of typical sausages, pork underbelly, ham and other cold pork meats.

Local cheeses are also very tasty, and their taste is brought out by spices and by the natural forage, animals are fed with all year long.

More discriminating palates can also taste the Christmas fried pastries called ‘cuscinetti’ (little pillows, pastry filled with a cream of chickpeas and cocoa), ‘crespelle’, ‘cannolicchi ‘and the Easter ‘chizzole’.

Not to be missed a first course of ‘ferrazzuoli’ or ‘rascatelli pasta’ (hand made pasta), seasoned with tomato sauce cooked with meatballs of beef, salami or lamb. Another typical recipe is ‘ciambottelle’ (fried peppers, onions, tomatoes, sausages and eggs), that is used to fill in a home made loaf.

Those who like to discover old tastes can try the ‘ingrattonato’ (minced tripe boiled in broth with cheese, eggs and plucks) and the ‘coscia di zita’ (young lady’s thigh, a whole leg of lamb cooked on the brick-oven or in tomato sauce).
