Local products of the region

The Lake Maggiore region is also an ideal destination for lovers of good food and local products. With its blend of Piedmontese tradition, Lombard influences, and Swiss touches, the local food and wine scene offers a rich and authentic experience, perfect to enjoy during a stay at the Hotel Concorde.

Lake cuisine: delicate and traditional flavours

The cuisine of Lake Maggiore is closely linked to its waters. Typical dishes include freshwater fish such as whitefish, perch, and trout, often prepared grilled, with butter and sage, or served in refined risottos. In lakeside towns such as Arona and Stresa, visitors can enjoy traditional recipes passed down through generations.

Local products of the region

In addition to fish, the area offers a wide variety of local products: mountain cheeses such as Bettelmatt, Toma del Mottarone, and Ossolano d’Alpe from the surrounding valleys, artisanal cured meats, and mountain honey. Piedmontese rice, the main ingredient in many first courses, is also one of the region’s finest products.

At the Hotel Concorde, it is possible to book a visit and tasting experience at the Luigi Guffanti cheese cellar.
