Either way, the Lucca markets are the perfect place to snap up a high-quality bargain from the locals.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">Tuscany is rightly famous for its excellent-quality extra virgin olive oil. Make sure you choose bottles labelled &#8220;<\/span><i style=\"background-color: transparent;\">olio extravergine di oliva&#8221;<\/i><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\"> (extra virgin olive oil) produced in the Tuscan countryside &#8211; delicious on some crusty, local bread or drizzled on a hearty pasta dish. The other Tuscan liquid delight is of course the local wines, known throughout the world for their incredible quality. Markets are perfect for purchasing some bottles of your favourite Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, or Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. And if you ask nicely, they&#8217;re sure to let you try them first!<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">Pecorino Cheese, made from sheep&#8217;s milk, is a delicious staple in Tuscan cuisine. And markets are great for trying different varieties, such as Pecorino Toscano or Pecorino di Pienza. The area also has an incredible range of cured meats made in the area, such as prosciutto, salami, and finocchiona (salami flavored with fennel seeds). You can also pick up some locally made pasta, like thick, hand-rolled pici or tagliatelle, so you can take the taste of Tuscany with you, and if you visit in Autumn, get your hands on some fresh truffles, a delicacy in Lucca.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6025b04 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6025b04\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luccaapartmentsandvillas.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/food-market-lucca.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-333\" alt=\"food market lucca\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luccaapartmentsandvillas.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/food-market-lucca.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.luccaapartmentsandvillas.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/food-market-lucca-768x360.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.luccaapartmentsandvillas.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/food-market-lucca-1536x720.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-96b3551 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"96b3551\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">Lucca also has some great sweet treats that you can find at the produce markets, like Panforte, traditional Sienese fruitcake made with nuts, candied fruits, and spices. &#8211; a delicious Christmas treat.
