Pork is also one of Pavia's gourmet dishes with cured meats such as Salame di Varzi, cotechino and sanguinaccio. Varzese breed pig farming, a native Lombardy species which has only recently been brought back to the area, is also worth trying.

Also not to be forgotten are one unusual product per zone, the Lomellina goose, Pavese frog and Oltrepò game. Farm produce comprises many local products which are symbols of a culture and traditions which have deep roots in our land and history. For all these reasons, then, local restaurateurs can satisfy all tourist appetites and price brackets ranging from those looking for fine cuisine, local dishes or simply a quick lunch.
