All Inclusive Gastronomic shore excursion from Amalfi
This excursion is designed to give you the best culinary experience in Campania! Italian cuisine is a delight, with its exceptional flavors and variety. The highly acclaimed Mediterranean Diet has its origins in Italy. Classified as one of the countries with the longest life expectancy in the world, it boasts of over 16,000 people over the age of 100 years!
Here are some reasons why Campania is any food lover’s dream destination:
- The life and economy of Campania is focused on the agro food industry. The people produce vegetables, fruits and flowers. The region is well known for its San Marzano tomatoes, olive oil, mozzarella and buffalo mozzarella cheese, pizza, coffee, pasta and limoncello.
- The name of the region originated from the Latin term “campania felix” which translated in English, means fertile countryside.
- The types of cuisine in the region are varied depending on the area you visit. If you are interested with cheeses and fresh vegetarian dishes, you need to try Casertan and Aversan food. Seafood is mostly featured in Neapolitan food.
- Fior di Latte cheese made from cow’s milk contains lesser fat than the region’s famous mozzarella which is made from the milk of the water buffalo. Do as the locals do and fold your slice lengthwise like a book and eat it with your hands.
