Valnerina, nature and food specialties
The Valnerina is a long valley running along the Nera river and crossing the South-Eastern district of Umbria region. This land offers a landscape of uncomparable beauty dominated by wild nature: steep mountain slopes, woods, ancient abbeys, enchanting tiny hamlets. This land provides also a variety of tasteful food specialties such as the black truffle, delicious ham and sausages from Norcia - since ancient times the most skillful butchers producing sausages and salami come from this town, that's why they are called Norcini - trouts from the fresh river water, a rich and intense olive oil, special varieties of legumes and many other delicacies. A day spent along the Valnerina is a perfect blend combining nature, culkture and gourmet experiences.
