Regional Spotlight: Friuli-Venezia Giulia

Picture

Did you know?

The region has three dominant languages: Friulian, Slovene and German.

Friuli Venezia Giulia is Italy's north-easternmost region. It borders Austria to the north and Slovenia to the east. 

Its landscapes are characterized by vast pine forests and pastures, mountain lakes and numerous streams and small rivers descending from the mountains.

Frico

A traditional dish of Friuli consisting mainly of heated cheese and potatoes. 

It was made with the remains of the cheese-making process, called strissulis (strips). The strisule are strips of curd resulting from slices that overflow from the mold once the curd has set up.
