Traditional Agri-foodstuffs of Monte Cucco Park
The territory of Monte Cucco Park heavily characterizes
its gastronomy, consisting of a variety of local and quality products,
in particular cheese, truffles, mushrooms, honey, charcuterie, cereals
and legumes like spelt, barley, lentils, chick-peas, and chicklings.
Mountain pastures are the main feature characterizing sheep meat and
beef. Some family-run agricultural holdings not only offer a tourist welcome
