Gastronomy
Abruzzeo’s cuisine includes typical dishes, like pasta (rigorously hand-made), lamb, legumes and saffron. Meat plays an important role, as in all pastoral cultures. Particularly used are the lamb and “castrato” (male adult sheep), grilled or baked in the oven. A traditional dish is “arrosticini”, thin grilled kebabs, made with “castrato”. Abruzzo’s culinary tradition also proudly displays sweets like the “nocci ‘ntorrati”, toasted almonds covered with sugar; the “cicerchiata”, a typical carnival treat; and the sweet pizza, typically eaten on easter, at breakfast.
