Wine and food of the Karst
The carsic area, at a first glance arid and inhospitable, is in reality an area which offers, to the people visiting it, a large range of colours, tastes and flavours.
Firstly the wines, the most famous one is the Terrano: a very intense ruby red wine, dry, deriving from the Refosco vine, and cultivated in red earth, which adds ferrous substances, giving it a very special taste. The white wine lovers will be able to taste the Malvasia, coming from the istrian Malvasia vineyard, having a beautiful intense straw color with a fruity flavour, and the Vitovoska, the wine with a delicate flower flavour, from the same vine. Other interesting wines are: the Moscato d’Istria, the Ribolla and the Glera, a white an fruity wine, rare and antique, growing only in the same vineyards, situated between terraces in the carso hills, overlooking the sea. An excellent quality product, the extra-virgin olive oil, a traditional production of the Province of Trieste area, where olive culture develops on terraces overlooking the sea, in milder climatic conditions than in the rest of the area. The collected olives (the native variety is the Biancheria) produce an oil with qualtitative and organoleptic high level features. The extravergine olive oil “Tergeste”, has recently obtained the D.O.P. certification.
People use to stop in an “agriturismo” or in the typical “osmizze” to taste the local cold cuts: the raw ham from the Carso-Trieste area, has a famous tradition of preparation.
Between the cheeses, the main ones are the Tabor and the Monte Re cheese (or Nanos, named after the slovenian mountain), supported by “caciotte, pecorini, caprini” and other cheeses enriched with aromatic herbs as savory.
The distinguishing vegetation of the Carso earth, delivers first-quality honey, the Marasca unifloral honey (from the local cherry plant), but even the acacia, linden tree and honeydew honeys. The multifloral honeys, thanks to the limited diffusion in the Carso area of specific plant species, make the “millefiori del Carso” a different honey from the millefiori of other regions.
