Parco Nazionale del Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga

History
Since it has been an essential element of the diet of Laga Mountains shepherds, this product is strictly linked to the production area between Abruzzi and Lazio. The preservation ease of the final product and its high energetic content enabled shepherds to stay in the mountains during the transhumance. Its ancient use as an ingredient combined with Amatrice pecorino cheese has given origin to the most famous sauce in the world: amatriciana sauce.
