The 'rustelle' are born from the stationary pastoralism of Abruzzo. At the beginning it represented a way for the shepherds not to waste meat, but later, given the great success, they began to use more valuable cuts. To date, they are also widespread in liver and ventricine variants.
Along the coast there are countless restaurants offering typical fish-based dishes that are caught in our sea. The fishing activity, in fact, is still very widespread, especially in our Ortona, where there are many fishing boats in the port.
Each town has its own typical dessert, such as, for example, the Nevole di Ortona, pizzelle made with iron-cooked must, or the 'Cellipieni' from San Vito Chietino, tasty baked desserts with grape jam. Discover them all by visiting our fantastic region.
