The best destinations for a gastro-shopping road trip on the Sorrentine peninsula.
When the Gods were creating their earthly pantry, they decided it should be located on the Sorrentina peninsula of Italy. This is where you can find some of the most incredible ingredients of the Mediterranean diet – from tomatoes to fior di latte cheese, from lemons to the best pasta in Italy.
Here’s a brief itinerary and some of the most indispensible addresses for gastro-shopping in foodie paradise.
GRAGNANO
Coming from Naples, just a few kilometres from the freeway exit of Castellammare di Stabia, you’ll find Gragnano. It’s the homeland of artisan, dried pasta that is still made by hand here, and then dried for hours and hours.
AGEROLA
This is where you’ll find the renowned Provolone del Monaco cheese, which is strong and flavourful, as well as the gentler, richer fior di latte.
