Area Marina Protetta Isole di Ventotene e Santo Stefano

The Ventotene lentil boasts a long tradition. It has always been cultivated with natural methods on fertile volcanic soils, recognisable by the yellow tuff, trachyte and basalt that characterise the entire coastline of he island. The skilled local farmers contribute to the excellence of this product, respecting tradition in the choice of farming techniques and tools, which are still handmade, and in the harvesting and husking procedures.
