Food

Marubini (pasta) in a broth made from three types of meat. The "mostarda" made from fruit and vegetables, always colourful and sometimes spicy, perfect with boiled meat, sausages, fresh or aged cheeses. And as a dessert, the world famous nougat, which you can find all year long: enjoy it "as it is" or turned into foamy creams or sorbets.

FRUIT AND VEGETABLES

Hearty and rustic, especially suited to soothe you during the early autumn fogs or the colder winters, the Cremona cuisine never lets you down, even under the hot August sun. .

You can destructure it and rearrange it in street food, afternoon breaks in the countryside, happy hours, aperitifs and signature dishes, but the Cremona cuisine is in any case a celebration of flavours and colours, made of hot boiled meat, spicy Mostarda, sausages and salami and PDO cheeses. And let's not forget the river fishes, for the milder seasons, together with the melon of the Cremasca countryside, ideal for a little relief in the heat of summer days.

Even when our cuisine follows tradition, it does so in an unusual way, drawing inspiration mostly on the revival and reuse of the fruits of the land. An ideal Cremona menu could start with a festival of salami and sausages, including the famous soft and lightly grilled Cremona salami, then marubini in broth or the surprising Tortello from Crema, or a plate of fasulin de l'oc cun le cudeghe (black eyed peas with pork rinds) typical of the early November days; and then, Cotechino sausage accompanied by mostarda, either sweet or spicy. And when the days grow too hot, the countless variations and applications of the melon (to which Casteldidone dedicates a fair at the beginning of the summer) are here to help you. And as a dessert, the world famous nougat, either "as it is" or turned into ice cream, foamy creams or sorbets.
