So, head out to discover the wineries and oil mills, or plan a tour that will let you explore all the flavours of the area.
Fish of Lake Garda
Fish is a key ingredient in the cuisine of the Lake Garda area. It’s used in delicious pasta sauces or to prepare mouth-watering antipasti and main courses. Tench, trout, and whitefish are the fish most commonly caught today. Whitefish has a mild flavour, and we recommend enjoying it grilled and served simply with a drizzle of Garda DOP extra-virgin olive oil. The flavour of pike, on the other hand, is perfectly complemented by “salsa alla Gardesana”, a sauce made with onion browned in Garda DOP extra-virgin olive oil, garlic, finely chopped anchovies, capers, and parsley.
Lake Garda’s desserts
The Lake Garda area is also home to exquisite desserts. Have you ever tried “torta delle rose”? This beloved classic sold in the Valeggio sul Mincio area is made with eggs, yeast, butter, and sugar. The dough is rolled and cut into sections before being placed together in a tin to create a bouquet of roses. You can also discover desserts with an ancient tradition, like “dolce di Valeggio” and “Fogassìn”, as well as innovations from the latest generations of master confectioners, such as the “Bacio di San Valentino di Bussolengo” or the chocolate tortellini of Valeggio sul Mincio. The classic dessert during the Christmas period is the star-shaped Nadalìn. This ancestor of Pandoro is made using simple ingredients: flour, eggs, and butter.
