\"calabria1\"The gastronomy of this beautiful region, consisting of\u00a0 completely different territories, is well balanced. In its recipes it can be found the right proportion of several ingredients<\/strong> such as lamb and pork, vegetables (especially eggplant) and fish.<\/p>\n

Calabria is a harsh land<\/strong>, sunny offering fragrances of citrus <\/strong>and olives<\/strong>, as well as vegetables <\/strong>and wines<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A particular feature of this kitchen is the processing of food aimed at preservation. <\/strong>Since past the harshness of the terrain, the lack of water in the inland and the weather conditions have affected traditions showing the necessity to store food so to be able to use it in difficul times.\"cedro11\"<\/p>\n

So conserved food is widespread throughout all the territory: from oil products to sausages. Farmers, herders and fishermen have passed down the secrets of processing <\/strong> vegetable, meat, especially pork and swordfish, abounding in the waters of Scilla and Bagnara.<\/p>\n

Since ancient times the ‘caviar of the poor’ <\/strong>is very used, which sums up the meaning of the popular cuisine of Calabria. It is made with eggs of anchovies, preserved in oil and flavoured with chili. This is a recipe telling the story of a poor, genuine, tasteful and simple culinary tradition made of a bit strong tastes and smells… <\/strong>as the whole Calabrian cuisine.<\/p>\n
