The Cabannina is a native cattle breed from Genoa, named after the Cabanne plain in the Rezzoaglio municipality. A number of pure-bred animals were preserved here, allowing the revival of the breed over the past few decades after it came close to extinction. A hardy breed, small in size, it has a dark chestnut or pale brown coat, with a cream stripe along the back, known as the riga mulina, which fades into reddish shades.

The tiny medieval village of Navelli looks out over the plain of the same name, at the foot of the Gran Sasso. In October, the countryside turns purple thanks to the crocus flowers whose saffron is famous all over Italy. But another crop has also been essential to the community’s economy, history and subsistence: a local variety of chickpea.
The village still celebrates the legume with a festival at the end of August, during which the villagers and local growers try to outdo each other with local recipes like chickpea stew and chickpeas with saffron.
Navelli chickpeas are usually small, cream colored and smooth, but a few producers still grow a second type, smaller and rusty red in color, with a wrinkled surface. Historically the white chickpeas were sold while the red ones were kept for family consumption.

Proud and elegant, its black plumage glinting with blue-green highlights, the Alsace black chicken is the most typical poultry breed from this region of northeast France, near the border with Germany.
Adult males weigh between 2 and 3 kilos, and the females between 2 and 2.5 kilos. The hardy breed loves wide open spaces and must be raised outdoors. They often spend the night roosting on tree branches. Farmed in fields, their diet is supplemented by grains and soy produced on the farm or bought from retailers who do not used GMOs in their feed.

Beans have been cultivated around Paganica, a hamlet near the town of L’Aquila, for hundreds of years, taking advantage of the deep, fresh, alluvial soil and the presence of waterways fed by mountain springs. Production is concentrated in the basin of the Vera River, whose springs flow from the slopes of the Gran Sasso. Until a few decades ago, this was an important business, with the beans sold locally but also in nearby provinces such as Terni and Rieti.
There are two varieties (ecotypes) of Paganica bean, both with a long life cycle (between 160 and 180 days). The climbing plants have white flowers and can grow up to 2 meters tall with the support of special willow poles.

Caciofiore can be considered as a kind of ancestor of Pecorino Romano, but is made by adding vegetable rennet obtained from the flowers of globe artichokes (“Cynara scolymus”) or cardoons (“Cynara cardunculus”) to the raw milk.

Acerra’s agricultural economy has historically been connected to its many canals, the Regi Lagni, which cross the fields and mark out the borders of its territory. Already in the pre-Roman era, the Acerra countryside was crossed by the Clanio, an important river for agriculture in the Campanian plain and essential to irrigation and water supplies throughout the Acerra area. Ancient Roman historians and writers have recounted how the network of waterways created by the Clanio became so branching and disordered that it created many problems. The river had many tributary channels, and because of the floods caused by these waterways, Acerra found itself surrounded by an enormous swamp. The problems caused by the water did not stop agricultural activities; after a long period of crisis following the fall of the Roman Empire and a series of wars between Longobards, Byzantines and Saracens fighting over this fertile plain, cultivation restarted around the 11th century, boosting the area’s economy.

The Limpurg cow breed represents the oldest still existing cow breed in Württemberg.
Its name derives from the county of Limpurg, south of the city of Schwäbisch Hall. It came into existence from breed crossings between the local red breed, which was present after the 30 Years War and the breed Allgäuer (named after the region between south-west Bavaria and south of Baden-Württemberg).
