Inevitable in the recipes of Sannio, onions are widely grown in the flat or mid-hill areas.

But the golden Bonea onion stands out among all, with its unmistakable aroma. Very delicate is the flavor of Pietrelcina artichokes, from small domestic lands cultivated according to ancient knowledge. Collected in bundles of four, tied with the "vinchi” the rushes collected on the banks of the Tammaro, they are the protagonists of a traditional festival in May. Among the vegetable specialties, the San Lupo bean, due to the climate at an altitude of 500 meters and the peculiarities of the soil, is undoubtedly worthy of the Queen, as it is otherwise known, or Maria Teresa of Bourbon, who greatly appreciated it.

Another royal product, with two thousand years of history, is the IGP Annurca apple, which is also produced in the Caudina and Telesina valleysand in the Taburno area. And then other ancient apples: the “Sergente”, the “Zitella” and the “Limoncella”, very prized for its slightly acidic white pulp, from which a typical cider is also obtained, very popular in ancient times among the farmers. Among so many wine grapes, there is instead, for the table, the cornicella grape. And in Tocco Caudio and in the neighboring towns of the Taburno-Camposauro regional park the cherries are special. Red, very sugary, also ideal candied or in alcohol.

Mountain land, land of woods, the Samnite one is prodigal of mushrooms: black and white porcini, poplars, nails, chanterelles, drum sticks, ovules, nets, scardelle, virni. And the historic beech woods of Taburno offer the humus suitable for “Scorzone”, a summer truffle, large, similar to the black truffle and very aromatic.
