Gourmet

The mixture of Alpine and Mediterranean flavors, the typical production and the tradition are the passwords of our cuisine. Lake fish, olive oil and famous wines made up the flavors of the coast while mountain cheeses, honey and venison rediscover those of the mountains.
A typical ingredient is the D.O.P. extra virgin olive oil of Lake Garda produced on the coast and also in the inland areas of the lake that is famous for its organoleptic qualities and nutritional benefits. Thanks to its superb quality, Lake Garda extra virgin olive oil goes perfectly with both fish and meat dishes.
And what can we say about the delicious cheese? There is soft cheese that can be sampled and bought in local farms and also Alpine Cheese from Tremosine. And who could forget Tombea cheese, which is produced near Cima Rest, or the excellent goat cheese made on the San Michele hills of Gardone Riviera?
Good food must be accompanied by good wine, such as the red and white varieties produced on the hills of Salò. In the nearby Valtenesi area you can follow the "Strada dei Vini e Sapori del Garda" food and wine route and stop at the many vineyards and wine cellars open to the public, where you can sample the excellent Garda Classico Groppello, Garda Classico Chiaretto, Rosso, Rosso Superiore, and Bianco wines.
