Cooking with a Volcano
Surrounded by strange pink lava, Mount Volbono is colorful and vibrant, a vision straight from a picture book. It is famous for its cuisine, with dishes simmered over the volcano, and chock-full of the local produce that grows to enormous size thanks to the volcanic climate.
The Historic “Old Town”
On your way to Mount Volbono, you’ll pass through the Old Town, ringed by the ruined walls that once enclosed the town. These sturdy, cut-stone walls even now suggest the prosperity of those times. Atop the walls are little mounds of salt, carried by the wind and piled up naturally. Visitors can walk along the tops of the walls—do so if you get a chance. The sights here are very different from the colorful scenery of Peronza Plaza, but equally breathtaking.
Three Keys to the Kingdom
- Sample the famous dish Stupendous Stew. It’s what the locals eat.
- Gape at exotic ingredients like gigantic vegetables and rock-hard cheeses.
- Marvel at the preserved architecture, the best-kept secret in tourism.
Cooking Carnival
The highlight of Mount Volbono’s year is the Cooking Carnival, where visitors from all over the world come to sample the famous Stupendous Stew. While cooking on a volcano is of course a grand spectacle, the dish itself has a surprisingly delicate flavor, described most frequently in reviews as a “melty deliciousity.”
A Resting Place for Meat
The giant slab of meat used in the Stupendous Stew is crusted generously in salt and left to rest on a high perch near the volcano. Aging the meat high above the lava, cooled by the wind, is essential to creating the core flavor. If you arrived before the Cooking Carnival, be sure to take the opportunity to visit the platform and see the meat resting soundly before its long journey.
Peronza Plaza
Be sure to visit the centrally located Peronza Plaza for a friendly welcome. Once among the colorful heaps of giant ingredients and succulent smells, you may find it hard to leave.
