Local Gastronomy
M aiori, like many of the other towns along the Amalfi Coast, uses all of the typical local agricultural products in its gastronomic tradition together with the fish from the waters of the Gulf of Salerno. Naturally, the characteristic recipes of Maiori may differ since they are based on original family dishes passed down from generation to generation.
From time to time, in our pages we will suggest some examples of the local cuisine. Let us begin with the unusual combination of Eggplants with a chocolate and nut sauce; a sweet delicacy that may have its roots in the middle east culture, one of many cultures which ruled on the Campania coast in past centuries. We also include the recipe for Liquore Concerto, prepared using a recipe kept secret for many years, and which still today is rarely shared.
