Guides for the season

Sulmona red garlic

Neither PDO nor PGI: it is a traditional Abruzzo product, confirmed in the 2026 national list, and an Ark of Taste entry. A Valle Peligna ecotype that flowers every year, is harvested in early summer and keeps for a long time; the July festival at Campo di Fano and Sulmona's Giostra.

Reggio Calabria bergamot

The essential-oil PDO, the three varieties, the winter harvest, the story leading to eau de cologne, the citrus museum and a day between Reggio, its seafront and the coast of bergamot groves.

Neither PDO nor PGI: a traditional Abruzzo product and Slow Food Presidium. Lean meat, a strip of lard at the centre, oak or beech smoke and the north wind at 1,300 metres.
