Umbria, known as the “Green Heart of Italy,” is celebrated for its hearty and rustic cuisine that highlights fresh, local ingredients. The region’s iconic dishes include Torta al Testo, a traditional flatbread often stuffed with prosciutto, cheese, or greens, and Strangozzi al Tartufo, a pasta dish featuring the region’s prized black truffles. Umbrian soups like Zuppa di Farro (spelt soup) and Acquacotta (a vegetable and bread soup) reflect the area’s agrarian roots. Meat lovers enjoy Porchetta, a seasoned, slow-roasted pork, and Cacciagione, game-based dishes like wild boar stew. For dessert, Tozzetti—almond-studded biscotti—are a favorite, especially when paired with Vin Santo. Each dish embodies Umbria’s commitment to simple yet flavorful cooking rooted in tradition.
