Olive Oil & Truffles
Spoleto sits in the heart of Umbria, one of Italy's top regions for high-quality agricultural products. The surrounding hills and forests yield some of the finest olive oil and truffles in the country.
Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
The hills around Spoleto produce excellent extra-virgin olive oil from local cultivars — Moraiolo, Leccino, and Frantoio. Known for its intense green color, strong fruity aroma, and peppery finish, it is often DOP certified as Umbria DOP olive oil.
Visit the Strada dell'Olio — a local olive oil route where you can tour mills and taste oils fresh from the press.
Black Truffles
The forests around Spoleto are rich in truffles, especially the prized Black Truffle (Tartufo Nero Pregiato) and the Summer Truffle (Scorzone). Nearby towns like Norcia and Trevi are renowned for truffle hunting and artisanal truffle products.
