So many books have been written about the famous Italian cuisine, and so many films have been made! This is the country that gave us pizza, pasta, and countless other unique dishes that have become part of our everyday lives. Get ready: the list of what to try in Positano is impressive.
The tastiest seafood, freshly caught by local fishermen, can be enjoyed right in Positano.
Many fruits grow here: peaches, oranges, lemons, plums, grapes. The town is filled with olive trees and is also famous for its spices — garlic and pepper.
National dishes in Positano are familiar to many from childhood. But you might be surprised to learn that many of them originated right here, on this stretch of the Italian coast. For example, the Margherita pizza was first created here. Its debut was inspired by a visit to Naples by Queen Margherita of Savoy at the end of the 19th century.
It is impossible to imagine Italy without the most delicious pasta in the world. When topped with exquisite sauces, pasta becomes a true gastronomic masterpiece. Cheese also holds a special place in Italian cuisine — particularly soft goat cheeses and mozzarella. According to legend, mozzarella made from buffalo milk was first created in Positano.
