Description

The Cinque Terre region of Italy offers a unique landscape, combining natural beauty and man’s skills in making the rugged and steep terrain into a tidy coastal agricultural landscape made up of terraces that stretch all the way up the hillsides overlooking the Mediterranean. The stone terraces built up over the centuries are held up by approximately 6800 km of dry stone walls and were dedicated mainly to the growing of grapes and olives. A variety of forces, including the rise of tourism, led to a decline in the traditional industries of the area. To preserve the natural and cultural heritage, the Cinque Terre area, including the offshore areas, were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Natural Park in 1997. One of the main tasks of the Cinque Terre National Park is dedicated to restoring uncultivated lands, replanting olive trees and grapevines, and in their shade growing certified organic garlic and basil. It is then used for the preparation of the Park’s Pesto Sauce by a local food processing firm. The pest sauce here is prepared within one hour from the harvesting of the basil and follows a classic recipe: only basil, extra virgin olive oil, Grana cheese and pecorino, pine nuts, garlic, and salt.
