Everybody knows the culinary delights of the Italian cuisine. However, hardly anybody knows where to enjoy genuine, indigenous, delicages in a family atmosphere. The Cilento is famous for its varied regional cuisine, featuring products produced in the local region.

As evergreen olive and chestnut groves are prominent all over the Cilento, the most widespread delicatessen are olive and chestnut products, The mild olive oil meanwhile meets the top quality standard “D.O.C.”, sometimes even organic quality standards.

Fruit and vegetables harvesting in the Cilento takes place four times a year; among them are citrus fruits (Limoncello liqueur), figs (covered with chocolate), apples, nuts, mushrooms and on and on.

However, the most famous delicacy is the buffalo mozzarella-cheese and the world’s well known pizza. Various dairy products are made from cow’s, buffalo’s, sheep’s or goat’s milk. Wine, especially the “Cilento Rosso” is grown by mainly small producers.
