One day excursion to Castelluccio

After a beautiful walk in Castelluccio, in which we will take breathtaking photos, we head to one local farm in Norcia where animals are raised in the wild, for an interesting guided tour during which we will get in touch with their tradition pork butcher. Here we will learn everything: from the breeding of pigs to the production and sale of the various products through the various phases: slaughtering and salting of meat, seasoning of cured meat… If you have doubts after the visit, don’t worry: there will be a delicious lunch in which we will taste cold cuts, cheeses and other local specialties, accompanied by a good wine!

In the afternoon, we will visit Norcia, which has kept its charm intact despite the terrible wounds of the earthquake. We visit the splendid historic center of Norcia, with the basilica of San Benedetto, in Piazza San Benedetto, the Town Hall, the Tempietto… and we enjoy some free time to shop in the various local butcheries. Indeed, Norcia owes much of its fame to the ancient tradition of butchery. Particularly appreciated is the raw ham of Norcia, but also other cured meats, caciotta and pecorino cheeses of the best quality, all processed on the spot with the guarantee of maximum authenticity and the authentic taste of rustic Umbrian cuisine.
