In a shopping frenzy!
Here are just a few, few more “purchase incentives”!
The most beautiful souvenirs
The most beautiful souvenirs are always individual:the stone found on the beach is very valuable to one person, but completely uninteresting to another! However, there are some souvenirs from Liguria that everyone likes: but unfortunately, you can’t take with you delicious pistachio ice cream!
But here are some souvenirs you can take home.
1. the different varieties of Ligurian PESTO.
2. all the PASTA varieties are also available in dried form.
3. OLIVE OIL, natural! Here you get only the best.
4. artisans from the Ligurian hinterland create (from the local ARDESIA)
fine jewellery.
5.fish like STOCCAFISSA or ASCIUGHE = anchovies can be bought everywhere.
6.a piece of typical Ligurian cheese, like the delicious PECORINO, is a must.
7.TORTE SALADES like FOCACCIA, torta PASOUALINA are wrapped in plastic film for transport.
8) Nowadays you can buy COOKIES everywhere.But not as tasty as here in Liguria!
9) LIQUEURS and BITTERS can also be bought everywhere.Try to buy these drinks “Fatto a Casa”.You will be able to taste the difference!
10) Jams, marmalades and honey are available in many different packages.
Chestnut cream is sold “fatto a Casa” in the Ligurian hinterland.
11. if possible, take a few bottles of typical Ligurian wine with you. Wines like
ROSSESE or VERMENTINO are often hard to come by – even in their country of origin.
This list is by far not complete!
