Sammarinese cuisine
As San Marino is a microstate completely landlocked by Italy, Sammarinese cuisine is strongly similar to Italian cuisine,[1][2] especially that of the adjoining Emilia-Romagna and Marche regions. San Marino's primary agricultural products are cheese, wine and livestock, and cheesemaking is a primary economic activity in San Marino.[3] San Marino participated in The Exposition Universelle of 1889, a world's fair held in Paris, France, with three exhibits of oils and cheese.[4]
Dishes
Local savoury dishes include fagioli con le cotiche, a Christmas bean and bacon soup; pasta e ceci, a chickpea and noodle soup with garlic and rosemary; nidi di rondine, a baked pasta dish with smoked ham, beef, cheese, and a tomato sauce; and roast rabbit with fennel.[1][5][6] Erbazzone is a spinach-based dish that includes cheese and onions.[5] There is a dish found mostly in Borgo Maggiore called piada, which consists of flatbread with various fillings and is somewhat similar to the piadina from Emilia-Romagna.
Desserts and sweets
Sweets include a cake known as Torta Tre Monti, based on the Three Towers of San Marino[1][2] and similar to a layered wafer cake covered in chocolate; Torta Titano, a layered dessert made with biscuit, hazelnuts, chocolate, cream and coffee, also inspired by San Marino's central mountain, Monte Titano; bustrengo, a traditional Christmas cake made with honey, nuts and dried fruit;[1][7] Verretta, a dessert made of hazelnuts, praline and chocolate wafers; Cacciatello, a dessert made with milk, sugar and eggs, similar to crème caramel; and zuppa di ciliegie, cherries stewed in sweetened red wine and served on white bread.[8]
Alcoholic beverages
Wine
Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". The region also produces a number of wines such as Brugneto and Tessano (cask-aged red wines) and Biancale and Roncale (still white wines).[9][10][11] Wine in San Marino is regulated by the San Marino Wine Association, which is also a large-scale wine producer.[10]
Spirits
Its liqueurs include the aniseed-flavoured Mistrà, the truffle-flavoured Tilus and the herbal Tamir Shachar.[12]
