SEASONALITY

The peculiarity of the typical products of Campania is that everyone, from fish to vegetables, fruit, cheeses, have a very precise seasonality which is very often short and decisive for the goodness of the product. The anchovies of Menaica, for example, are fished only from March 25 to July 22, the spinster apples are so called because of their late ripening and the purple aubergine top is harvested twice a year, but the second harvest is that from where the best quality comes from. Remembering the seasonality of Campania products is the trick to always recognize the best products without having to know all their other characteristics, which are really many and unfortunately impossible to keep in mind.
