The Violina pumpkin is the most typical variety in the province and is of excellent quality. It can be used in many recipes, both sweet and savoury, and is the star ingredient in one of the most important dishes: Cappellacci di Zucca. Both the flowers (fried in batter) and the seeds (toasted) can be eaten.
