Abruzzo fried cheese

Cheese cut into slices, battered and dipped in boiling oil for a few minutes. These are the simple but effective characteristics of Abruzzo's 'cacio fritto', a speciality inextricably linked to the centuries-old and precious culinary tradition of Abruzzo.

In fact, this dish originated in an area that in ancient times was characterised by strong ties with sheep farming (traditionally, the cheese used in this dish was sheep's milk cheese). Son of the Abruzzese peasant culture, this exceptional dish reflects the simplicity of country life where one of the most important moments of social gathering was precisely the meal.

The famous Abruzzese dish is now widespread not only in the hinterland, but also in the traditional cuisine restaurants along the coast, and owes its success to Image's few and essential elements, including top-quality cheeses, which create in their simplicity an extraordinary combination, appreciated not only by adults but also by children.

Abruzzo's fried cheese fully represents how the link and respect for tradition and local products is often the right way to go, in order to propose an appreciated and successful product. More and more, in fact, visitors go in search of dishes linked to the tourist area in which they spend their holidays, seeking a 'souvenir', linked not only to the extraordinary beauty offered by the territory but also to the food and wine sphere, and in this regard... Abruzzo will leave you pleasantly surprised!
