Maiella Worth
If you want to try traditional abruzzese food this is the place. Daniel and Adi, would more than happy to welcome you into this tiny piece of Abruzzo in London, so you can have the best of Abruzzo’s cuisine!
Pretuziano - Olive Oil
In this occasion we were walking around the Borough Market and we were so pleased to find the Oilve Oil Co store. It specialises mainly in olive oil of course, and also in balsamic vinegar. We couldn’t resist and we got a bottle of Pretuziano delle Colline Termane, an exquisite olive oil from Abruzzo that goes with everything!
Passerina Terre di Chieti
We found this rare white Abruzzese wine made from Passerina grapes. The name of the wine is due to the sparrow that enjoys eating them! It’s a really fresh white wine and can be served with chicken or sea food.
Fettuccine made in Abruzzo
It makes us happy when we find new products made in Abruzzo around London! It makes us feel closer to our beloved region. Walking around North London, we found Fettuccine Rustichella d’Abruzzo in a small local shop. With this traditional pasta shape, you can’t go wrong if you are planning a special dinner. Good news! You can get them online as well.
Bits of Abruzzo in Eataly
Definitely the place with more “Abruzzesi” products on London so far. Eataly offers a wide selection of wines that goes from the classic Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, to the Trebbiano and Pecorino. Other products available are: the abruzzese passata di pomodoro (tomate puree), the spaccatella classica and an exquisite extra virgin olive oil from Fossacesia!
Rosato Terre di Chieti
Our last finding, an organinc wine “Rosato Terre di Chieti” in the surroundings of Tower Bridge. A perfect companion to relax and have a good time among family and friends.

Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
Il Montepulciano d’Abruzzo is by definition Abruzzo’s wine. There so many types. This one is a “vino ecologico” available in Whole Food Piccadilly’s branch.
La Porchetta
La Porchetta is the result of roasting a whole pig over a pit until it gets perfectly tender. It is one of the most traditional dishes in the whole region!
Gli Spaghetti alla Chitarra
It is a typical pasta from Abruzzo and its name is due to the tool is used to make it, “la chitarra” (the guitar). Any occasion is the best for cooking the spaghetti alla chitarra.
Gli Arrosticini
The arrosticini is one of the elements that define Abruzzo’s cuisine. They are typically made by sheep meet or lamb cut in chunks by a skewer and cooked in a special grill. If they are medium rare, medium well done o well done is entirely up to you!
I Cantucci
We recently find out that this delicious “biscotto” is also available in Rossella, a lovely italian restaurant located in Highgate, North London.
I Cantucci
The “Cantucci” are those delicious biscuits originated in in the region of Tuscany. These however, as the package says, are made by a family bakery guess where . . . exactly, Abruzzo! They are available at any branch of Costa coffee shop.
