The "Verga d'Avellano" cited by D'Annunzio is nothing more than the shepherd's stick, a hazelnut branch carefully chosen and renewed every year, before each new migration. In the choice of the name there is the positive and strongly symbolic message that it transmits: for the ancient Greek and Roman shepherds the hazel branch kept snakes away and was the symbol (also in Christianity) of the defense and management of the flock. Furthermore, like all fruits enclosed in a rind, the hazelnut represents fertility and regeneration. Lightly aged cheese, produced exclusively with fresh cow's milk. It has a thin crust and a faint scent. Its pasta has a soft and tasty texture that is perfect at any time of the day and with any creative combination. Excellent aperitif with local cold cuts and light, fresh, aromatic wine.
