Shop in the main street has plenty of wine stock outside. The shop frontage is small but full of attractive souvenirs.
Let's take a peek inside all means!
Mr. Enzo and Mrs. Patrizia run this gourmet shop. They are very kind, let's ask wine tasting!
Full of salami and cheese are lined up like this at the entrance of the shop. Vacuum-packed salami costs from 2.50 euros. It's probably the lowest price in Orvieto. There are also vacuum-packed cheese from 3.5 euros. They are ideal for gifts!!!
At the entrance there are many olive oil bottles, from 5 euros. There is also cans, no danger of cracking. The left is dry porcini and spices corner, from 3 euros.
Next cool box has plenty of cheese and salami!
There are also useful vacuum packed gifts. (please check your national situation about customs inspection)
The shelves right alongside are full of wine selections. There are also half bottles, useful for souvenirs!!
Located in Umbria, central Italy, Orvieto has many fine restaurants. People who eat at restaurants and stay in Orvieto is surprised by its delicious cuisine and economy price. Let's go back home with its great experience of "eat".
It's recommended to choose the famous Orvieto pottery and olive wood products of beautiful grain as souvenirs. However, to go home with plenty of Italian food would be the best gift from the travel to Orvieto.
Here I recommend the best shop to buy food in Orvieto, "I Sapori dell'Umbria", meaning "Scent of Umbria." Even if it's a small shop, they sell wine, cheese, beans, salami, pasta, pasta sauce, honey, jams, gifts etc... wide varieties food. You can find all line up of Italian food in one shop.
Mr. Enzo and his wife Mrs. Patrizia are owners of this souvenir shop, which was opened seven years ago in Corso Cavour, Orvieto's main street.
The surprise is their rich variety of wine. Let's see only wine of Orvieto, they have at least a few dozen types. Of course wine of Umbria region, Tuscany region and Lazio region are stocked well. They collect mainly wines of central Italy. If you can't decide well, let's ask to the clerk's advise. They will recommend you delicious and not expensive wines. Of course you can try to taste it! Dessert wine, grappa, and alcohols such as Amaro are also very attractive.
Walking through the town of Orvieto, the stuffed boar statues are often seen. That's because this area is famous for "wild boar salami". In this shop, you can also buy it. It's possible to buy not only wild boar salami, but also normal salami, sausages, and hams at 2.5 euros per 1 pack! My favorite is Lardo di Colonnata and I often go to buy this item. This is salted ham of fat pigs in the Colonnata marble stone. It's the best snack for red wine. Its exquisite taste and melting texture is ideal also for Panino sandwich.
The wide selection of cheese is a great gift to your friends. They have also small sized vacuum bags as gifts. As well as famous local sheep cheese, cheese with walnut leaves, truffled cheese, peppered cheese etc. it would be difficult to choose!! But don't worry, one pack costs 3.5 euros so let's get a lot of souvenirs here!
You'll find lots of other souvenirs. For example:
Since this shop is located in the main street, it's very convenient for a short visit during your sight seeing!
