Cuisine Going in order, the most typical appetizer is the
soppressa, a soft cured meat cut into thick slices, usually accompanied by
polenta and radicchio. Among the first courses, the "
risi" (with liver or accompanied by seasonal vegetables such as asparagus, radicchio, peas or "
bisi"...) and soups (in particular the simple capon broth with tortellini, the bean soup and the sopa coada) can be mentioned. As for the main course, feathered game and poultry stand out: roasted guinea fowl with "
pevarada" (a sauce made with liver and anchovy paste), boiled chicken, goose (often seasoned with celery), spit roasted duck and capon stew. , a typical dessert from Treviso There is also fresh-water fish and in particular eel, "
bisatto" in dialect, fried or stewed with polenta, fresh-water shrimp, trout and codfish (in Treviso and in the Triveneto commonly called "baccalà"). Even vegetables are often protagonists of the Trevisan table, and in particular, the famous Red Radicchio of Treviso. Although the province is rich in cheeses (
Montasio,
Asiago,
Taleggio,
Morlacco), the most typical is perhaps the soft Casatella of Treviso, a fresh cheese with protected designation of origin status prepared with pasteurized cow's milk. Among the most cultivated fruits in the province are the Marrone of Combai, cherries, especially from the Hills of Asolo, and grapes. The most characteristic dessert is definitely the
Tiramisù, which according to the tradition was prepared for the first time in the restaurant "Alle Beccherie". Other desserts that can be cited are the "
Fregolotta" cake and seasonal desserts such as frittelle,
crostoli and castagnole for Carnival, the Easter "
fugassa con le mandorle", the Favette dei Morti. The most famous white wine is certainly
Prosecco, and in addition to it, the Tocai, the Verduzzo and those made with white, grey Pinot and
Chardonnay grapes as far as white wines are concerned and
Cabernet,
Merlot,
Pinot noir and
Raboso as far as red wines are concerned. == Economy ==
