Flavours

To taste is to experience not necessarily or exclusively through the sense of taste.
Certainly the food production of a specific territory is very often the mirror of the place or at least it was until recently, when basic needs still coincided with the production, tradition, culture and thought of a people.
Today, these natural needs have unfortunately vanished, confused among other needs that often aren’t even needs, most of the time homogenizing and affecting the quality of places and their food.
From this homologation process, the so-called “Amerino” Umbrian territory which concerns the south-west area of the region, seems not to have been attacked and the quality of its places is still synonymous with the quality of the products.
Among all the Amerino “flavors”, excluding oil and wine, the fava cotòra is perhaps the most explicit example of coincidence between quality, tradition and culture. It is an ancient legume, grown exclusively in this area, whose selection, sowing, harvesting and conservation process tells of ancient practices that do not exclusively concern food but community life.
