The area`s dedication to the natural traditions in farming ensure the highest-quality organic produce and livestock, which, in turn, result in country cuisine served in local farmhouses that will delight any gastronome. During a recent farmhouse lunch, we enjoyed a country gourmet meal with homemade ricotta and aged cheeses, antipasto with sausage, frittele alla salvia (fried sage bread), grilled farm vegetables, pork fillets in mushroom sauce, zucchini and cheese foccacia, a berry tart, and excellent wine and grappa made by the farmhouse owner, who is a sommelier. Excellent examples of this tradition can be found at the Angelica
, Gelsomina
and Liliana
farmhouses in Colline di Caiazzo.

Wine-making Tradition
The Colline di Caiazzo region has a strong wine-making tradition dating back to the colonization by the Greeks and later to the influx of Bourbon royalty in the 18th Century. Its hilly and mountainous terrain produces some of Italy`s finest grapes for a variety of excellent white and red wines.
Unique Olive Oil
This Mediterranean region is known for the cultivation of a native variety of olives known as tifata calatia or caiazzana producing an extra virgin olive oil that has unique characteristics: a sweet-flavored oil with a hint of almond. Caiazzo is part of the Associazione Nazionale Città dell`Olio (National Association of Oil Cities) whose mission is to protect and promote the ancient traditions of olive cultivation and the production of extra virgin olive oil.

Wonderful country restaurants that incorporate fresh local produce and herbs, regional wines and other specialties abound. We cover virtually all of Italy from the northern mountains surrounding the Aosta Valley to the South`s sun-splashed island of Sicily not to mention such famous regions as Tuscany, Umbria and the Amalfi Coast in between.
