It is difficult to find places where flavours and gastronomic traditions are preserved from every kind of contamination and taste standardization. The gastronomic flavours of Abruzzo come from far away, from the depths of this region history, from centuries of experience in farming, breeding and raw material manufacturing.
Wine and oil represent the most important products of the local agricultural economy, the first ones that have gained different origin denominations and indications, such as the PDO (protected denomination of origin) extra virgin oil, the Montepulciano d'Abruzzo and the AC (Appellation contrôlée) Trebbiano. Going a bit further, we notice that the southern part of Abruzzo presents a food and gastronomic heritage of several varieties and novelties, among which the irresistible ventricina, called the queen of Italian salami, represents the main dish.
The Vastese cuisine has many souls, due to the variety of territories and cultures that live here together.
The agro-pastoral cuisine has developed, as well as the one of peasants and shepherds living in mountain and piedmont areas, based on simple and tasty dishes, mutton, soup, cheese and sweet herbs, and the seafood cuisine that combines fish variety with the vegetable heritage of the hills close to the coast.
Typical dish of the seafood cuisine is brodetto alla vastese, a tasty fish soup dressed with fresh tomato sauce that has been created to make use of the entire rock fish variety, once called the scafetta from the small fisherman basket. Today this is a special dish that can include seafood, prawns, cuttlefishes, codfish, mullet, rock fish, smooth hound, ray and many other minor species.
This cuisine, either based on sea or agricultural food, has always been simple due to the exclusive use of the territory products and few elaborations; nonetheless, it reveals great creativity in many recipes, often originated from nutritional needs or from poor food availability or selection, so that old generations have been driven to use these products or mix them together in a creative way. An example is the pallotte cace e ove dish, conceived in order to make up for meat shortage.
Absolutely innovative is the combination of strong Mediterranean flavours in the scapece dish, a special fish conserve based on vinegar and saffron, typical of the Vastese coastline.
Original cooking methods are used to prepare the agnello sotto il coppo, where the lamb meat is placed directly on red-hot grill, under a big lid that reminds clearly of the pastoral culture, the transhumance and the open-air food preparation.
Homemade pasta is another main point of the regional gastronomy. One can easily find in the Vastese area the sagne a pèzze or tacconelle pasta, cut with the characteristic irregular rhomboidal shape, or the ndorciolloni, a type of handmade pasta cut with the help of a typical tool of the Abruzzo cuisine called the chitarra (guitar).
As already mentioned, among the territory specialties, the place of honour goes to cut cold meats, such as the prosciuttill salami or the liver salami in grape syrup from Schiavi Di Abruzzo, but above all, the red ventricina charcuterie, produced anywhere in the area, especially in Guilmi, Scerni, Palmoli, Carunchio, Castiglione Messer Marino, Carpineto and Roccaspinalveti, and to be tasted with delicious pecorino cheese. In the inland, other delightful products are the renowned tender artichokes of Cupello, belonging to the mazzaferrata variety and with the typical opening at the top, or both white and black truffles that make of Abruzzo one of the most important Italian region for truffle quantity and quality.
Moreover, the mountain and piedmont uncontaminated areas, so rich in sweet herbs and flowers, are the ideal environment for honey production. Associated with festivals and local traditions are patisserie products such as the cicerchiata pastries, sweet pies, the bocconotti, caggionetti with chickpeas and mostaccioli pastries, stuffed celli and ferratelle pastries, the aragonese sweet pie, the citrus nougat, all to be combined with a traditional grape syrup or ratafià wine glass.
