Liguria food and wine. Ligurian cuisine is typically Mediterranean: olive oil, vegetables and aromatic herbs flavour the simple and genuine dishes providing a healthy, balanced diet. These are accompanied by a wide range of wines that are produced from grapes grown on the sunny local hillsides. "Pesto" is the typical basil sauce and something more than a gastronomic speciality: it is a symbol of Liguria and an "ambassador" for Ligurian cuisine abroad. Other well-known typical dishes are "buridda", made with fish, potatoes and peas, and "cima", a dish of meat filled with vegetables or other ingredients; stockfish is also a basic ingredient of many local recipes. In the hinterland, where there is an abundance of chestnut trees, mushrooms have pride of place in the kitchen: whether they are cooked "alla Genovese" (with potatoes, garlic and oil) or fried in breadcrumbs, it is well worth going for a mushroom-picking trip in the right season or going to a local restaurant to taste them. In the territory close to the border with Piedmont, you can also find truffles growing. "Focaccia" and "farinata" are simple but very popular foods and as you smell them cooking when you walk along the streets, you may be tempted to stop for a quick snack. Finally, there are the delicious local vegetable pies, which have varying recipes from area to area. Some of the authorised and recommended species of wine are marked to be included in the production areas of superior-quality wine, and there are also many authorised geographical areas for wines that are less well-known but classified as "local". These have the bouquet of the sea and the local flora and are an ideal accompaniment for local specialities, distinguishing themselves for lightness and genuineness. There are many wines that have already obtained the "DOC" seal of superior quality: these will be mentioned according to the production area.
