During his voyage around Cilento 150 ago years ago, Arthur John Strutt after having eating the lunch offered by a local gentleman: fresh fish, shell fish, anchovies, vegetables cooked in various ways, home-made pasta, chicken, figs, olives, salamis, asparagus, fresh cheeses and excellent wines, decided to stay longer than he had previously planned.

The same products and the same skills of preparation can still be found today at Hotel Eden*** where, not only can the most discerning palates of the gastronomical culture, of the typical Mediterranean diet be satisfied, but they can also guarantee any other dietary requisite. Cilento is renowned for the quality of its extra vergine olive oil, delicious figs and, above all, the water-buffalo Mozzarella, recently awarded a D.O.C. and guaranteed by a specially created consortium. Gift ideas could include excellent cilentan wines and extra vergine olive oil from near by the hotel, ask in reception for more information.
