The culinary traditions of Maremma
Maremma cuisine is as rustic and simple as it is appetizing, and many aspects of it are completely different than the food from the rest of Tuscany or the nearby Lazio region. Since the time of the ancient Etruscans, it’s been said that people love Maremma for its colors, flavors, and aromas and because of the diversity that comes from its land: olive oil, chestnuts, wine, honey, game, cheeses, and fruits.
Add the native mix of hospitality and directness that its inhabitants show—which may strike tourists as “abrupt politeness”—and you’ll have a true taste of Maremma.
