Umbria Truffle Festivals
When and where are the best truffle markets and festivals in Umbria? Between the 'Mostra Mercato Nazionale del Tartufo', the 'Mostra Mercato Nazionale del Tartufo Nero Pregiato' and the 'Mostra Mercato Nazionale del tartufo bianco e dei prodotti agro-alimentari' which do you choose? The first truffle festival listed is held every year in the last two weeks of November in Valtopina, near Assisi. Although fresh truffles feature it is also a four day celebration of the gastronomy, wine and life of from the Mountain Comunity of the Monte Martano, Serano and Subasio.Last modified on 27 May 2012
Olive Presses Open Weekend
'Frantoi Aperti' literally means 'The Olive Press are Open' and who can say fairer than that. A wonderful opportunity to taste the new olive oil and spend a weekend in Umbria. Typically the event takes place over 5 weekends starting from the first week of November. The zone to head for is Trevi in the Umbra Valley. The event has been held for more than a decade now and is organised by the Strada dell'Olio Extravergine di Oliva Dop Umbria and the Comunità Montana dei Monti Martani, Serano e Subasio, in collaboration with the Consorzio di Tutela dell'Olio Extra Vergine di…
National Truffle Market
The National Truffle Market takes place every year at the Centro Fieristico Borgosole near Fabro during the last two weeks of November. It is organised by the mountain communities of the Valtopina, Monte Peglia e Selva di Meana and Monte Subasio near Assisi. It's not just truffles, but also an enogastronomic presentation of rarely seen local cheeses, selected cured hams, fine olive oils and Umbrian sweets. There are also stands for handicrafts, ceramics, wrought iron, lace work and carved wood. A sort of modern version of what thosands of small weekly local markets used to be like for centuries. Expect…
Norcia Salumi
Besides 'prosciutto', the area around Norcia produces many other typical pork related meat preserves. To begin with coppa is the Umbrian version of the so-called 'head in a basket'. Once the tongue and brain have been removed, the head is boiled in water with celery, onion and carrot added. It is then de-boned and the pieces of meat, together with diced orange peel, are used to fill a large calf gut. Coppa can already be eaten after twenty four hours.
All About Norcia Ham
Norcia and the Valnerina area are the most famous places for Umbrian prosciutto or ham production thanks to particular climatic conditions of their territories and to the skill of the local artisans. It is not by chance that the name norcino is used across Italy; Norcia's artisans have become the Italian ambassadors for a particular type of prosciutto, named salted or 'from the mountains'. Besides needing the right amount of salt seasoning and pepper for preserving those parts not covered by skin, it also needs to be left to mature slowly in the light and dry mountain air. It is said…
Caciotta Cheese
The cheese and olive oils from Todi and the surrounding area complement each other perfectly. Whether the best olive oil comes from Umbria, Tuscany, Liguria or other, is open to debate, but its the combination of the locally produced flavors which is what the intelligent visitor should really look out for.
Spring Picnic in Trevi, Umbria
A picnic in Umbria or rather a 'Pic & Nic' in Trevi is a wonderful idea. The event is put together by the Comune di Trevi in collaboration with the Association Strada dell’Olio Dop Umbria. It is basically an excuse for an early Spring jaunt to the countryside, but the town of Trevi also puts on a show over the course of a weekend. Piazza Mazzini, Piazza Garibaldi and the 'Sentiero degli Olivi' or olives trail are the places to be for tastings, music and more. Great idea, but like many local tourism initiatives from the Italian regions, the website…
