Golosità Umbre, the Taste of Genuine Food

On the old Via Eugubina that leads from Branca to Fossato di Vico, in the 60s the social dairy CAMAU (Cooperativa Agricola Montana Alta Umbria) was born, which for over forty years served the area with its local dairy products.

Belli, Torrita’s Butchers

The typical ‘agliata’ is made following the ancient custom: with farmer’s wine, strictly fresh garlic and pepper. Fennel is used to flavour other cuts and modernity is supported only in the reduced use of salt. On the counter or hanging, on the ceiling and on the walls, we can also find specialties of all kinds such as loins, ‘capocolli’, ‘rigatini’ and ‘gota’ and “L’Imbrogliona”, a typical Tuscan salami flavoured with fennel, ‘sopressata’ and ‘buristo’, marinated pork, ‘coppiette’, ‘bresaola’, truffle salami; as well as wild boar derivatives such as thigh, loin, capocollo, salami and cured sausage. The raw material, selected by the patron Alfiero as we said, comes entirely from local farms.
