Basilicata

The mountainous terrain of Basilicata (Lucania) made communications difficult until modern times, and Basilicata has been one of Italy’s least developed provinces. This is a region for true travelers as it possesses few resorts and fine accommodations. The cooking of Basilicata is bold and vibrant with outstanding produce, tasty cheeses, a wonderful variety of fresh and dried pastas—and outstanding cured meats. We are looking for great oils from small producers in this area.
