Molise includes Campobasso and Isernia. Olives and wine-growing are the major food production. The estates of Masseria Di Majo Norante with DOC of Biferno, and the Ramitello wines are the most remarkable. On your gourmet tour to Molise, your tour guide will introduce you to the following culinary specialties and recipes, and to the following wines and liqueurs:

Giant white celery from Campobasso

Calcioni di ricotta rustici are rounds of pasta dough filled with ricotta, provolone and prosciutto fried in olive oil

Picellati are honey pastries with nuts and grapes

Biferno (DOC) red, white and rose

Pentro di Isernia (DOC) red, white and rose

The P'lenta d'iragn, a white polenta made with potatoes, wheat and tomato sauce, and Calconi di ricotta rustica, ravioli stuffed with ricotta, provolone and prosciutto, and fried in oil are other Molise foods. The sunny hillsides between the Apennines and the Adriatic, provide an ideal ground for Molise's promising wines.
