The food of Veneto is quite varied depending on weather you’re staying up in the mountainous area or down along the coast. All over the region though, polenta is very popular as a staple food.
This cornmeal mixture is flavoured in numerous ways such as with garlic and mushrooms or deep fried with mountain meat. It’s absolutely delicious as is Veneto’s most famous dessert, Tiramisu.
Made with eggs, mascarpone cheese, Marsala port and rich coffee soaked biscuits, this is a dessert to truly savour in the cool of the evening after a long and interesting day of culture.
