Umbria, a small region with great tastes, satisfies
all palates: 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 that brings out
the taste.
This rich array of dishes goes hand-in-hand with the genuine quality of the
products, 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 more valuable white truffles can be
found as well, particularly in the Tiberina Valley, Orvieto and Gubbio.
Everything is seasoned with the golden and fruity olive oil produced in this
region, which enhances any dish without upstaging the flavor; Umbrian oil
of high quality is awarded with a PDO quality mark (Protected Designation
of Origin).
