LOCAL PRODUCTS AND TYPICAL DELICACIES The geographical area between the rivers Oglio and Po is for sure one of the special regions where the main protagonist is taste. This region praises a long cooking tradition, rich in flavours and aromas. It is impossible to explain the typical delicacies and local products; the only way to understand it is to taste them! The cooking tradition is based on the local agricultural products, like the famous “Marubini”(stuffed Pasta) in a rich broth which is made out of different kinds of meat, served with polenta and lentils. Cremona and its province are famous for the “Torrone”. It is said that at the wedding of Francesco Sforza with Bianca Maria Visconti, which was celebrated in Cremona in 1441, the royal confectioner served the guests a sweet which was made out of eggs, almonds and honey and it had the appearance of the famous Torrazzo, the Cathedral’s bell tower. Delicious is also the “mostarda” (it was tasted for the first time in 1604) a kind of condiment made out of candied fruit, mustard, sugar and normally it is very spicy. Instead Mantua is very popular for its Ravioli stuffed with pumpkins and the melon’s plantation. Last but not least a special cheese called Grana Padano DOP; it is a very high quality product which require a long period to mature and it is produced only on the left side of the river Po. Not only the local products but also the eating places are very characteristic and pretty: there are typical Trattorias with old tables, plaid tablecloth and special chairs made out of straw, as well as agritourisms which offer a rustic but neat atmosphere. In every case along with the local cooking tradition it always comes the good local wine production, like the Lambrusco. A good lunch or dinner at one of these places quickens one’s mind. You only have to choose... delicacies exist enough!
