Food in San Marino
As San Marino is a microstate completely landlocked by Italy, Sammarinese cuisine is strongly similar to Italian cuisine, 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. San Marino participated in The Exposition Universelle of 1889, a world's fair held in Paris, France, with three exhibits of oils and cheese.
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. "Erbazzone" is a spinach-based dish that includes cheese and onions. 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 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; "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.
Alcoholic beverages.
Wine.
The region also produces a number of wines such as Brugneto and Tessano (cask-aged red wines) and Biancale and Roncale (still white wines). Wine in San Marino is regulated by the San Marino Wine Association, which is also a large-scale wine producer.
Spirits.
Its liqueurs include the aniseed-flavoured Mistrà, the truffle-flavoured Tilus and the herbal Tamir Shachar.
