Nature’s kitchen: flowers, herbs and garden produce in the Villa’s menù
At Villa Taticchi, cooking begins outdoors, amidst the kitchen garden, wild herbs and the rhythms of nature. It is a way of cooking that starts with the earth and reaches the table with respect, simplicity and consistency.
There is no pursuit of special effects, but a focus on true flavour, seasonality and the quality of the ingredients.
The kitchen garden: the first ingredient
The vegetable garden is a living, daily presence in the kitchen at Villa Taticchi. Here, vegetables, herbs and edible flowers grow, finding their way into dishes in tune with the rhythm of the seasons.
It is a true resource: what the garden offers guides the cooking, suggests pairings and inspires recipes. The result is a culinary offering that changes over time, whilst always remaining faithful to the Umbrian region.
Il cavallo: un legame storico che continua
Edible flowers and herbs: beauty you can eat
One of the distinctive features of the Villa’s cuisine is the use of edible flowers and herbs. They are never mere decoration, but an integral part of the dish.
Fresh flowers, carefully picked, accompany the dishes, adding fragrance, delicate colours and a natural visual harmony. Aromatic herbs, used sparingly, complement the flavours without overpowering them, maintaining a clean and recognisable balance.
Villa Taticchi propone anche corsi di ceramica, esperienze che uniscono creatività, manualità e tempo condiviso. Lavorare l’argilla, modellare forme, sperimentare materiali diventa un gesto semplice ma significativo, capace di riportare l’attenzione sul presente.
Sono attività ideali per chi cerca un’esperienza diversa, concreta, lontana dalla frenesia e vicina al valore del fare artigianale.
Alla ricerca del tartufo: il bosco come esperienza
Uno dei tratti distintivi della cucina della Villa è l’utilizzo di fiori ed erbe commestibili. Non sono mai un ornamento fine a sé stesso, ma parte integrante del piatto.
Fiori freschi, raccolti con cura, accompagnano le preparazioni aggiungendo profumi, colori delicati e una naturale armonia visiva. Le erbe aromatiche, utilizzate con misura, completano i sapori senza coprirli, mantenendo un equilibrio pulito e riconoscibile.
Authentic cuisine, rooted in the local area
At the heart of Villa Taticchi’s culinary offering lies a deep connection to the local area.
The ingredients are sourced from selected local producers and, where possible, from the family’s own farm. Every dish tells a story of the countryside, farming traditions and heritage.
La Villa è da sempre uno spazio pieno di arte, aperto alle arti. Concerti, teatro, danza, pittura ed eventi culturali trovano qui una cornice naturale, fatta di storia, silenzio e bellezza.
Le esperienze artistiche proposte non sono mai decorative, ma pensate come occasioni di incontro e scoperta, in dialogo con gli ambienti storici della dimora e con il paesaggio che la circonda.
Alla base della proposta gastronomica di Villa Taticchi c’è un legame profondo con il territorio.
Le materie prime provengono da produttori locali selezionati e dalla stessa azienda agricola di famiglia, quando possibile. Ogni piatto racconta una storia fatta di campagna, tradizioni contadine e memoria.
Simplicity is not a compromise, but a conscious choice: letting the ingredients speak for themselves, without masking them.
The Villa’s cuisine follows the natural rhythm of the seasons, not the commercial calendar.
The seasons determine the menus, the dishes and the combinations. This allows us to offer dishes that are always consistent, fresh and in harmony with what the land has to offer at that moment.
It is a cuisine that changes, evolves and renews itself, without losing its identity. It is the taste of home, of family. Here, the cuisine speaks of family, of traditions passed down through the generations, of sincere care for those who sit down to eat. It is a welcome that is not constructed, but inherited and lived.
When cuisine is born from the earth, flavour needs no explanation.
Seize the moment. Even at the table.
