Olive oil, truffles, legumes, meats, and artisan cheeses are typical of the region. Traditional pasta like "strangozzi" is often served with truffle or meat-based sauces. Umbrian charcuterie, including "capocollo" and "prosciutto di Norcia," is also a highlight. Local wines, such as Sagrantino di Montefalco and Grechetto, perfectly complement the region's dishes, offering a taste of authentic Umbrian hospitality.
