“Made in Italy” is synonymous for design and attention. Abruzzo offers your “made in Italy” brands at more affordable prices. The smaller cities and town like Casoli, Lanciano or Vasto have an excellent choice of boutiques, new Italian outfit from shoes to jacket, not forgetting the accessorizes. But being a very green region, Abruzzo also offers fresh farm products like oil, olive, cold meats, cheeses, pickles and internationally recognised quality wines.
We can suggest other town such as Chieti, Roccaraso, Casoli, Guardiagrele, Lama Dei peligni, Palena, Altino or Civitella Messer Raimondo to buy typical products.
Then there is Fara San Martino to buy pasta. In the “pasta valley” using fresh mountain water to make the best pasta in the world.

Eating
.
Abruzzo has always been a land of great food, grown from the uncontaminated mountains, lakes, hills and coast.
Traditional products include oils, cheeses, wines, pasta, meats, honey, liqueurs, and many other specialities.
Customers sitting in restaurants or farmhouses can taste the simplicity of the cuisine, which is notable for its abundance and freshness. Also Abruzzi wines are very popular all over Europe. The traditional vines are Trebbiano for the whites and Montepulciano d’Abruzzo for the reds. A reference point for wine-lovers is Enoteca Regionale located in Ortona at Palazzo Corvo where it is possible to taste and purchase the best Abruzzi wines.
