This photo illustrates what I love most about Corsica: Peaceful beauty, bountiful nature and breathtaking wide open spaces. In Corsica farm animals are allowed to live and grow as nature intended, which results in some of the best food products in the world.

Holiday Tradition

The traditional Christmas meal consists of roasted goat or lamb, roast accompanied by polenta and lasagna.

The quintessential dessert served on Christmas Eve in France called the Bûche de Noël, a cake made to resemble a log of wood, becomes the Bûche à la châtaigne in Corsica, with the addition of chestnut paste to its mix.

Winter is a good time to enjoy Corsican charcuterie and brocciu, Corsica’s famous fresh cheese, best consumed during the Winter months.

Wishing you all a Happy Holiday Season!
