The hinterland of Riccione, rich in history and charm, is also rich in culinary traditions and gastronomic specialities.
Among the products of excellence the truffle, renowned tuber with an unmistakable aroma, stands out.
Found out with the help of dogs, and once with the help of sows, the truffle has a unique flavor so that even a banal fried egg receiving a sprinkling of it becomes incredibly good.
The truffle the most prized is the white of Alba, but to the diamonds of Piemonte the hills between Romagna and Marche answer with the whites of Acqualagna and Sant’Agata Feltria, resorts that celebrate the fragrant tuber with two prestigious fairs with rich stands along the ancient and evocative alleyways.
The truffles live in symbiosis with certain plants (sallows, beeches, lindens and especially oaks), which create it only in mysterious and almost magical circumstances to feed on substances that are not in the underground.
Climate change and the use of fertilizers and pesticides are sadly reducing their growth and thus the price already prohibitive is now sky-high.
Fortunately, the forests of the hinterland between Romagna and Marche are rich in them and in our part of the region in autumn every ‘trattoria’ offers dishes with truffles at a fair price.
Land of truffles, ours is also a land of mushrooms, especially of very good cepes.
In the menus you will easy find them, in the sauce to make special your first courses or next to the country vegetables to embellish the side dishes or with the ‘piadina’ to exalt the hunting meat.
If you have a great desire to try the cuisine of Romagna, we are waiting for you in the best hotels in Riccione with our Oenogastronomic holiday.
The soirées with tastings of typical local products, the weekly excursions to discover the flavors of the hinterland, the simple and tasty dishes of our menu, washed down with our great wines, Sangiovese, Trebbiano and DOC Colli di Rimini, will delight your palate.
A sprinkling of truffle or a cepe here and there will make your happiness… great here!
