Varese: a gastronomic itinerary
The province of
Varese, a border county and transit land, is characterized from the
geographic viewpoint by the variety of its landscapes: the north is immersed in
the green of the Pre-Alps, with the mountains as a majestic backdrop for a
central area rich in
LAKES and hills, while to the south the great Po valley opens up Northern
Italy’s well cultivated and fertile plains.
The territory’s singular conformation, offering panoramas of incomparable
beauty, is also reflected in the Varese gastronomy and in its typical
products: cheeses, cold cuts, wine and honey are but a few of the delicacies of
this province, products that to this day are prepared in true artisan style
according to age old traditions.

Varese land, reviving traditional recipes of the Lombard cuisine, based on rice,
