Sassetta is well-known
for its good food, and
among its specialties are
wild boar Sassetta
style and flavoursome
dishes based on game,
mushrooms and polenta.
To start, there are tasty
"tortelli" - pasta shapes
stuffed with ricotta
cheese and vegetables
or mushroom and onion
soups, and to finish,
homemade desserts,
figs in oil, chestnut jam
and cherries with
vinsanto (a dessert
wine).
Prestigious wines
produced along
the Costa degli Etruschi
Wine Route and rich
olive oil provide an
excellent
accompaniment to these
dishes.
Fruit, vegetables,
sheep's cheese,
preserves and honey
frequently organically
grown - can be acquired
directly from the
producers.
All kinds of Sassetta
specialties accompanied
by the excellent Costa
degli Etruschi wines
can be tried during
the fests, while meat
cooks on gigantic spits
in the middle of the town
square.
