Food specialties Gubbio
The typical dishes of Umbria are numerous and very tasty, and they are all rooted in the countryside tradition of the region, as the simplicity and authenticity of all courses can prove. The Umbrian cuisine mainly uses meat, game, salami, sausages, cheese, salads, olive oil and precious wines. Traditional dishes are the grilled roasts, tagliatelle and cheese cakes.
And finally truffles are definetely worth a mention. They are very wide-spread in the area around Gubbio.
Some example of food specialties:
- Brustengolo: a poor cake, once made with wheat flour, very frequent in the countryside.
- Castagnole: these pastries are prepared with eggs, sugar, yeast, flour and fat, with the addition of apples and liquor; everything is mixed up together and fried, to obtain some small chestnut-shaped pastries.
- Ciaramicola: the typical Easter cake of Perugia, ring-shaped, covered with a white icing and small coloured sugared almonds. According to tradition, girls had to give this cake as a present to their beloved ones on Easter Day, as a symbol of engagement.
- Cresciole di Ciccioli:the cresciole are rounded cakes (sometimes also in the shape of tresses) that can be cooked salted or sweet.
- Fave dei Morti: little pastries made of almond usually prepared on the first week of November for the occasion of the All Saints Day.
- Mostaccioli: biscuits prepared during vintage-time, made with bread, aniseed, sugar and must.
- Attorta: typical cake made with apples, rolled and spiral-shaped.
