Because of their joint history, Molise shares many of the
culinary traditions of Abruzzo, and there are few
dishes unique to the region.
One is p'lenta d'iragn, a white polenta
made with potatoes and wheat and served with a tomato sauce. Another is calconi di ricotta rustica, ravioli stuffed with ricotta,
provolone, and prosciutto, then fried in oil. The cheeses of
Molise include scamorza, mateca, and burrino.
In the interior of Molise, you can still find orchards with a
very old type of apple tree that produces very aromatic fruit known as mela limoncella.
Many families used to display these
apples around their kitchen and living room doorframes because of their special
scent. They have a green-yellow peel, a very strong scent, and a slightly
acidic yet sweet flavor.
