Food in Friuli is full of a variety of different flavours. Traditional mountain fare includes frico, the smoked ham of Sauris and first course dishes perfumed with herbs and spices. The hills are the home of San Daniele ham and many refined and highly perfumed white wines. But there is also the lagoon area where seafood cuisine, with a variety of soups or boreti, is very much alive. |
