The region is renowned for the quality of its local salamis and meats giving rise to specialities such as carbonada, a dish composed of stewed beef meat with wine, onions and spices.

The cheeses are equally famous and include the emblematic PDO cheese of the Aosta Valley, Fontina which gives rise to dishes such as Fonduta Valdostana and the typical baked soup made with savoy cabbage, Fontina and bread: the Seupa à la Vapelenentse (Valpelline Soup).

Any first time visitor to the Aosta Valley will be also stunned with the quality of wine on offer.

Whatever your taste, any visitor to the Aosta Valley will return home happy and well sated.
