Culture
Cuisine
The local gastronomy, as like as the gastronomy of southern Italy, is characterized by simple dishes, but very spicy (hot peppers, parsley, basil, rosemary, garlic and onions are the most used spices). The dishes that better represent the cuisine of Fiumefreddo Bruzio are mainly two: the Filiciata and the Frittata di patate.
The Filiciata is a soft cheese, placed in layers of ferns. It was usually served during the Assunzione di Maria Vergine holiday (Ferragosto) on August 15.
The Frittata di patate is a sort of fried omelette (even though it has the shape of a cake) made with potatoes from local farms. Even though it is called frittata (omelette), eggs are not needed to make it.
Among the other dishes of the province of Cosenza there are Cuddrurieddri, grispeddre, calabrian eggplant meatballs, stuffed alices and many more.
