Discover the Pistoia Apennine Road of Flavor and Colors! Foodies travelling along the Apennine Road should be sure to sample traditional Pecorino cheese made with raw milk and cuds from animal or vegetable products. It is said to have the flavor of the Pistoia Mountains and is a great match for pears and prosciutto ham.
Sorana white beans, known for their thin skin and delicious flavor, are also typical of the area. These flat beans are known locally as ‘piattellino’. Once cooked, they make a wonderful bean soup. Chestnut flour from Pistoia is locally grown and created thanks to traditional methods. This sweet, intense chestnut flour is produced in the Municipality of the Montagna Pistoiese, in the Province of Pistoia.
