The famous Verona gastronomic products of the area are: Vino, Olives ,
nuts, Cheese, Asparagus, Fish, risotto tastasal, porcini mushrooms, Tortellini
al brodo, Truffle, coniglio alla cacciatore and sopressa salami
The story of olive oil production from its beginning as a rural
activity to the dawn of the technological age, is the theme of the Oil Museum realized by the
oil-mill in Cisano del Garda. The museum shows how olive oil has been produced
in rural areas for centuries.

All the villages
surrounding Lake Garda offer a wide chioce of restaurants, trattorie, pizzerie,
winebar and pianobars for who wants to enjoy the local food and enjoy the
magical evening views of the lake.
I recommend moving away
from the lake if you wish to find some of the best local restaurants. I found
that Caprino Veronese offers some very good pizzerie and trattorie.
The
agriturismo ( farmhouse ) converted into accommodation and tratorie using only
local home grown products has become a real favourite with Italians over the
last 20 years or so. Lake Garda offer very many beautifully restored rustic
agriturismos , these are just 2 that I recommend :
la Zerla
Loc. Ca' Bottura 3/A
37011 Bardolino - VERONA
Bosco del Gallo
via Costabella, 2 | 37014 Castelnuovo del Garda.
Some of
the typical dishes served at these local farmhouses are
Bollito con la Pearà, Carne al ferri, tortelli di zucca and Polenta fungi
gorgonzola. |
