A little about Umbria - the Region

Umbria, the ‘Green Heart of Italy’ thoughtfully blends its rural landscape with modern farming methods and welcomes the traveller with a pastoral, hilly landscape enhanced with neat yet characterful rows of grapevines and olive trees, providing the abundance of natural produce available from this part of Italy.

Umbria is one of the smallest regions in Italy and yet it leads the way with its production of high quality wine, meats and olive oils, reflecting deeply held family traditions of Umbrian cooking, exploiting the art of an uncomplicated approach using fresh authentic local ingredients.

The people of Umbria proudly and carefully maintain their food traditions, which are mainly based on meats, cheeses, legumes and truffles.

Umbria’s lush green pastures provide an unspoilt environment which enables the production of the highest quality meat and dairy goods.
