"NDUJA"


A Calabrian must-have for every visitor, the classic ‘Nduja is a fiery, buttered sausage that is most commonly savored as a paste or spread. 

 It's made from a blend of pork parts and chili peppers and is often served on a loaf of bread with a drizzle of olive oil.

If you’re a lover of hot food, it's simply a match made in heaven.






CACIOCAVALLO


The Calabria cheese known as Calabrian provola is known for its exceptional flavor and is arguably one of the finest cheeses in the world.

It is great for eating as an appetizer all on its own, or for use as an ingredient in a dish. 

Easily distinguishable in its distinct shape and yellow velvet rind that encases a solid core, this cheese is popularly served smoked or grilled just like other stretched-curd cheeses. 


CACIACAVALLO

Caciocavallo is another signature stretched-curd Italian cheese that originates from Southern Italy. Procured on Sila, an ecologically virgin plateau, this cheese goes from a salty to a more spicy taste as it seasons and is best paired with wines.

Owing to the seasoning, the cheese develops a granular texture, making it a perfect choice for grating.
