The secret of Roman gastronomy is based on its ingredients, in other words those "precious" traditional Roman products which still bear witness to a centuries-old gastronomic culture.
Many traditional products of the Roman countryside, each one with its own history and gastronomic tradition, come from the 121 municipalities in the province of Rome.

A substantial number of the hundreds of certified italian products comes from the Latium region.

We have chosen six certified products, recognised at the European level, that contain the words “Roma”, “Romano” and “Romanesco” or are closely linked to the territory and to a long-standing tradition that makes them protagonists of Roman cuisine:

• RICOTTA ROMANA PDO: the true flagship of Roman dairy products
• PECORINO ROMANO PDO: the cheese from the Roman countryside
• CARCIOFO ROMANESCO DEL LAZIO PGI: the key ingredient of the Jewish style cuisine in the Roman Ghetto
• ABBACCHIO ROMANO PGI: widely employed particularly on special occasions
• GENZANO HOMEMADE BREAD PGI: closely linked to the historical tradition of this small town
• EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL SABINA PDO: an essential ingredient for cooking and dressing traditional local dishes
