Friuli-Venezia Giulia
Overview
Savory prosciutto, fruity cheese, floral wine — though small, Friuli Venezia Giulia creates many of Italy’s finest products. The northeastern region ranges from the peaks of the Alps to the waves of the Adriatic Sea, blending into a perfect climate for its simple but delicious cuisine.
Products from Friuli-Venezia Giulia are created with a combination of tradition, innovation, and especially biodiversity. The region boasts a unique microclimate and mineral-rich soil, thanks to its proximity to both the mountains and the sea. This has enhanced the characteristics of the typical food products and indigenous wine varietals, allowing us to offer guests a true taste of the land with regionally inspired dishes and wine pairings.
The cooking traditions Friuli Venezia Giulia are influenced by the Slavic, central European and Venetian cultures. The cuisine relies on simple recipes and genuine ingredients: meat, dairy, sausages and legumes, used to create tasty specialties.
