This month, travel with ORO through the rugged heart of Italy, where soaring Apennine peaks meet Adriatic shores, and the cuisine of ABRUZZO thrives between the mountains and the sea.
From shepherds’ tables to coastal kitchens, ABRUZZO cuisine celebrates simplicity, seasonality, and the bold, honest flavours that define the region.
ORO’s Taste of Italia ABRUZZO menu features:
Crostini con Crema di Fave e Salame
Toasted bread topped with creamy fava bean purée, sliced salami, dressed arugula, and pecorino cheese.
Tagliatelle con Guanciale, Asparagi e Zafferano
Tagliatelle tossed in a saffron cream sauce with tender pork cheek, asparagus, and earthy mushrooms.
Baccala all Abruzzese
Flaky black cod in a rustic tomato-olive sauce with potatoes, cranberries, and pine nuts, infused with garlic and shallots and garnished with parsley and dill.
La Cicerchiata
Mini honey balls coated in wildflower honey with lemon and orange zest, finished with coloured sprinkles and sliced almonds.

What’s included
Italy’s cuisine is more than a single story; it’s a rich tapestry of regional identities, woven together by history, shaped by geography, and brought to life through local ingredients.
