Parco Nazionale della Sila

Tastes and Traditions

Vegetables, legumes, potatoes, together with mushrooms, olives, and the ever-present chili pepper pan-fried with olive oil from Calabria and sometimes mixed with bread crumbs and pecorino cheese used to represent satisfying dishes for the palate and stomach of the people of the Sila. These simple vegetable dishes of the past have been handed down to the traditional menu of the mountains of the Sila, completed today with sheep, cow, and pork meat. Dishes to appreciate with fine bread, excellent wine, and pure water.
