Local Flavors, Shared Moments

Umbria is rich in bold, authentic flavors. Around our village, you’ll find Sagrantino red wine from Montefalco, olive oil from Spoleto, black truffle from Norcia, and lentils and legumes from Castelluccio di Norcia.

These local specialties add depth to your meals and reflect the land and its people. Explore, taste, and bring them to life in our shared kitchen during your stay at Dolce Vita Coliving.

Craft Beer

🧀 Food & Culinary Zone

Craft Beers from Umbria, Italy – Steeped in monastic tradition, Umbria’s artisanal brews trace their roots to medieval Benedictine and Franciscan monks, who perfected beer-making in abbeys like Birra Nursia (Norcia). Today, local brewers honor these methods with Trappist-style ales, spiced brews, and barrel-aged beers, often using Umbrian grains, chestnuts, or even saffron. Expect complex, earthy flavors—from malty dubbels to herb-infused abbey ales—best enjoyed with hearty Umbrian cuisine. A divine sip of history! 🍻🏰

Ricotta (Goat Cheese)

Caprino di Valnerina (Goat Ricotta from Valnerina, Umbria) is a delicate, fresh cheese made from the rich, aromatic milk of local mountain goats. Handcrafted in the pristine Valnerina valley, this ricotta is creamy yet light, with a subtly sweet, grassy flavor and a hint of alpine herbs from the goats' diet. Traditionally enjoyed drizzled with honey, paired with Umbrian black truffles, or spread on rustic bread, it’s a testament to the region’s pastoral traditions. A rare, artisanal treasure of central Italy! 🧀🌄🐐
