Local fishermen have specialised in anchovy fishing for centuries They are salted and marinated according to traditional recipes An interesting fact about pasta Did you know that the oldest pasta in the world was found in China? Chinese noodles were usually made from millet, rice or soybeans. Although pasta did not originate in Italy It was the Italians who revolutionised its production and popularised it around the world The key moment was the use of durum wheat semolina. which resulted in pasta that retained its ideal firmness after being cooked ‘al dente’ The 17th century saw the invention of mechanical machines for production. and Naples became the capital of pasta Italy’s coastal regions are also famous for their wonderful lemons. For hot weather, I recommend juices served in such places Lemon groves grow on rocky terraces Some varieties of lemons are so sweet that the locals eat them sliced sprinkled with salt and drizzled with olive oil This dish stimulates digestion and provides valuable minerals Olive oil provides healthy fatty acids that are beneficial for the heart and circulatory system let’s look at the prices in the restaurant lemon has its own holiday here Every year the “Sagra del limone” Lemon Festival – takes place here.
