Flavours of times gone by

Carnia is a region of discovery for those seeking the flavours of yesteryear. Carnia prides itself on its traditional products, such as the famous "Prosciutto di Sauris" (Sauris ham). In Carnia you will find large local varieties of sausages, cheeses, butters, fresh and dried mushrooms. Carnia is known for its regional specialities, such as the cjarsons (Carnic ravioli), its biscuits, honeys, jams, fruit syrups and vegetables. Carnia is also famous for its flavoured Grappas: berries, juniper, or gentian, as well as the Slivowitz (plum brandy) locally produced in Cabia. An important dish to try at least once during your stay in Carnia is "frico", which can be made either with grated cheese or with potatoes, but must always be eaten together with a slice of polenta.
