Nestled in Agerola, the B&B Al Chiaro di Luna stands on a stunning vantage point overlooking the Amalfi Coast, attracting hikers and food lovers alike. This area serves as the starting point for numerous hiking trails, including the renowned “Path of the Gods” from the Bomerano district. This path weaves through the striking Lattari Mountains, offering spectacular coastal views en route to Positano. Here, you’ll find essential information for exploring the area and indulging in its culinary delights. Historically celebrated for its “very healthy milk” since the times of Galen, Agerola is famed for its fiordilatte, a traditional fresh, stretched-curd cheese, alongside caciocavallo, ricotta, and other local specialties. The esteemed Provolone del Monaco D.O.P. cheese is crafted from the milk of the Agerolese cow breed. The region’s cured meats have been highly regarded since 1284, when they caught the favor of Charles I of Anjou, the King of Naples. Prominent among these are salami, pancetta, ham, sausage, and seasoned lard, as well as guanciale and capocollo.

Taralli and toasted bread, marked with the De.CO. (Municipal Designation) label, rank among Agerola’s most ancient culinary traditions, where their recipes were conceived and have been continuously produced using time-honored techniques and ingredients. Typically, these are enjoyed briefly soaked in water or milk for breakfast.
