Products: Vegetables and Legumes

The Park, characterized by a flat territory in a mainly agricultural context, offers products like melons, apples, and pears deriving from the work in the fields, as well as Grana Padano cheese and cold cuts obtained from the animal husbandry activities. Situated between Cremona and Mantua, the area is characterized by very tasty dishes: the pumpkin, with a doughy and hard pulp and a sweetish taste, together with mostarda, that is a sauce based on fruit and tasting like mustard, is an essential ingredient for the filling of tortelli mantovani, the most characteristic local dish. The sheet of pasta dough is made with eggs, water, and flour, and filled with a mixture of pumpkin, amaretti biscuits, Grana Padano, nutmeg, and mostarda: they can be simply flavored with melted butter and grated Parmigiano cheese, and sometimes with some sage leaves.
