The Italian Riviera: Le Cinque Terre

September21

Le Cinque Terre are five beautiful towns situated on the Italian Riviera,  in the Ligurian region of Italy. The five villages are: Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore.

These fives towns are famous for their beautiful landscapes that overlook the sea, their panoramic terraces and lack of visible modern development!

Cinque Terre products:

  • Pesto (Sauce made from basil leaves, garlic, salt, olive oil, pine nuts and pecorino cheese)
  • Anchovies of Monterosso
  • Focaccia (Bread topped with herbs)
  • Farinata (Bread made with chick-pea flour)
  • Sciachetrà (Sweet wine)
  • Grappa (Brandy made with the pomace left from winemaking)
  • Limoncello
  • Grapes
  • Olives
