The town of Ariccia is so famous for its porchetta, the two practically go hand-in-hand. This slow roasted pork is savory, fatty, moist and extremely flavorful. It is rolled with alternating layers of meat, fat and skin, and then stuffed with wild herbs including rosemary, garlic and fennel. Porchetta is a favorite food at sagre, or small town festivals, and is often served with bread as a porchetta sandwich.
