Local traditions

Being celebrated for its generous nature and its great beauty, Corsica has a hidden treasure, as far as the tourist is concerned, which is more than you can ever imagine. It is an island filled with history which is evidenced by the many monuments and other vestiges of the past. Its beaches, mountains, maquis ... everything is perfectly adapted in order to make you spend a perfect stay, perhaps even better than you have hoped for.

Corsica is also a favorite place for those who are adapted to cultures and traditions. The music reflects the love of life and the deep feelings of the villages, and the paintings are an image of her beauty.

One of the cultural points that make of this city a dream destination is its gastronomy. Each dish, each specialty represents a pleasure, not only for the eyes and for the smell, but especially for the taste bud.

As far as  the terroir is concerned, you will have the opportunity to taste the famous prisuttu, which is a delicious ham lean. It is made from a semi-domestic pork, thus giving its meat a particularly delicious taste. You will also find delicious cheeses such as brocciu or niolo, which is a cheese based on sheep's milk.

In the village houses and typical restaurants, you will get the chance to taste regional dishes such as zucchini and sheep's cheese. As for the seafood specialties, you will be entitled to the whiting of herbs and olives or the Corsican bouillabaisse.

Wine is also a specialty that has highlighted the island of beauty. If you are an amateur of good wine, you have probably already heard about the patrimonio Grotte di Sole 2010 by Antoine Arena, the Calvi Vignola 2010 Renucci domain or the Clos Ornasca Ajaccio Cuvée Lésia 2008. Of course, there are also liqueurs and spirits, such as Limoncellu, P & M, Red Myrtle Liqueur, but also Abrutus.
