Mercato di Campagna Amica

Naples


Each fortnight, Villa Comunale plays host to this roving food market, its 20-odd stalls peddling a mouthwatering array of regional delicacies. Stock up on organic olive oils and honey, seasonal fruit and veggies, cured meats like capocollo and pancetta, or intriguing cheeses that span anything from grotto-aged provolone stravecchio to parmigiano di capra (goat-milk parmesan). See the website for upcoming market dates.
