Italy is a one-of-a-kind country. Indeed, only here you can find a varied and excellent cuisine that can satisfy anyone in every location of the “Bel Paese”.
In addition to beautiful landscapes, Tuscany Maremma is also known for its tasty dishes, as well as for the high quality of local wine varieties.
Tuscany Maremma cuisine has been handed down for centuries of peasant tradition. It is made of "poor" and simple dishes, at the same time tasty and delicious. Let's see together local dishes that you should try during your Tuscan holiday!
The most famous local dish is tortelli. The hand-rolled egg pasta has a heart of ricotta and spinach. Tortelli are usually flavoured with meat sauce (ragù) or with butter and sage.
The wild boar is the other protagonist of Maremma cuisine. The meat is prepared in many ways such as stewed or meat sauce, among others.
Acquacotta is a peasant soup made of different vegetables, including beets, tomatoes and carrots. It is served accompanied by bread and a poached egg.
Tuscan crostini is a common appetizer. These are slices of unsalted bread (another typical food) toasted and seasoned with chicken livers, beef spleen, salted anchovies or pickled capers.
If you are a fish lover, you will enjoy eel and Caldaro. The "golden eel" is so called because it is breaded, while the "shaded eel" is marinated.
Instead, Caldaro is a rich soup of the fish of the day.
A dessert cannot miss. The sfratto of Pitigliano Goym is a dry dessert made with nuts and honey. Another delicious sweet are fried rice fritters called San Giuseppe fritters.
