Molise Menu

Molise Cheese Please I have to admit to loving cheese. Any type, any flavour.  Molise has a huge selection of outstanding cheeses, with a wide range of flavours. Goats, Cows, and Sheep milk are all used, as in this region they are found in abundance. Cheese is on the menu in every restaurant, making a delicious option to meat or fish as a second course. The main cheeses of the Molise region are  Caciocavallo Molisano This is the most famous and widely available cheese in Molise. The name originates from the way it is preserved. It is tied in pairs with a rope and hung  over a beam or a stick, this resembles the way it was once hung over the horse's saddles, hence being on horseback. The name means CHEESE on HORSEBACK This would have been the way the cheese was carried traditionally to markets to be sold. It can be made out of sheep's or cow's milk.It is made into a paste, which is stretched out into lumps then hung by the strings ...

Molise ..... A plate and a dream Let me tell you about more about MOLISE CUISINE... It is run by Lori Di Sanctis, an Italian and Canadian entrepreneur living in Molise. She grew up in Montreal with Italian parents, and always kept in touch with her roots.

Cooking in Molise is an ART, an OCCUPATION, A LOVE and considered to be a NECESSITY   This is for people who are PASSIONATE about food, just like the people of MOLISE who want to know WHAT it is, WHERE it comes from and WHAT to do with it. EVERYONE here in MOLISE, is PROUD of their REGION and most of all It's FOOD.. and WINE of course. Wherever I go I am offered food, which is ALL without exception ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL. Even If you are like me, constantly preoccupied with getting fat then it is still possible to eat a very HEALTHY DIET... As FRESH FRUIT and VEGETABLES are in plentiful supply. The fundamentals principles of MOLISE cooking are based on the MEDITTERAN DIET, already familiar to many people.  The less healthy food products at the top, and the most healthy at the bottom.
