In central Italy, the fruity olive oils of Tuscany and Umbria flavor elegant, yet rustic and simple food.
Renowned for being the area of heavy-bodied food: Pecorini, Scamorze, Insaccati and Sottolii.
However, the center of Italy is also famous for truffles and mushrooms, which can be found in particular in the region of Umbria.
T-bone steak, grilled and served with olive oil, pepper and lemon, white beans and garlic, hand-made pastas, Parma ham and prosciutto, and lasagna Bolognese predominate.
