In an article for the Telegraph, Travel writer Xanthe Clay said that while Brits are most familiar with the cuisine found in the north of the country. However, when Ms Clay took a recent Italian property break to Puglia, she said that she found "some of the gutsiest food is produced further south", which could interest foodie fans looking to invest in Italy property who are unsure which part of the country to choose. Southern Italy is also popular for wines and little wonder that Italy has more grape varieties than the rest of the world put together.
Britons are indulging in gastro-tourism, with some even traveling as far as Colombia to taste the local coffee. A survey by travel website Expedia.co.uk found that 20 per cent of people have travelled to Parma just to taste the region’s famous ham, the Times reports. Italy has prospered into a major food tourism destination with a density of high quality restaurants, an abundance of local food suppliers in the high street, food festivals and events to attract tourists.
Expedia.co.uk communications director Alison Couper commented: "In the past, Brits have been unfairly branded as unadventurous with their culinary choices abroad, so the research findings underline that Brits are adventurous when travelling and becoming more dedicated to immersing themselves in the home-grown local cuisine”.
According to firstpropertychoice.com, the country is "one of the most dazzling places" for the foodie fans when it comes to moving away from the UK. The Calabria region in particular is noted as a haven for Brits wishing to buy property in Italy. With over 250 km of coastline, seafood is naturally one speciality that Italy property investors should not miss in Calabria. Moreover, Fantastic value and quality are other the plus points cited as being in the region's favor.
