Gastronomic notes and the “Trufforum” fair in Vic
Osona, with Vic as its capital, offers us many restaurants, more than five hundred, where we can taste the local cuisine of the area. In their menus we can see countless dishes that include many products from the region, of great quality and unbeatable flavor.
Cuisine has always been a key point when talking about Osona, hence there is a group dedicated to promoting the region's cuisine: “Osona Cuina”.
The great culinary tradition is also ensured thanks to the Osona Hospitality School, in Tona, where medium training cycle cooking courses are taught. If you are curious to know how the students cook and how they perform, take note as they have a restaurant open to the public.
GASTRONOMY AND CULTURE
“Osona Cuina” organizes routes that combine culture and gastronomy, we recommend some, such as: The Romanesque route through the city of Vic, in addition to a route to discover the jewels of the Romanesque, the activity includes lunch in some of the main restaurants of the town.
WHAT DEFINES THE CUISINE OF OSONA?
When we think of Vic and Osona in general, a whole delicious variety of sausages come to mind, made with great care and with the best raw materials. The fuet along with morcones, sobrasadas, chorizos, fresh sausages, truffle and a long list of delicious proposals cannot be missing from your list of Musts to taste.
Now, the cuisine of the area is not only characterized by the production of sausages, but is much richer and more diverse.
