The region offers an enormous wealth of mountain food products that are the basis of its tasty traditional cuisine and one of its main tourist attractions.

Its forests, its interior plains and the orchards that border the Segre river present a great diversity of native products, such as the Cadí-Moixeró mushrooms, numerous derivatives of pork (such as the famous black or white “bull”), duck, veal, lamb, game meat, vegetables such as the Talltendre turnip, cottage cheese, delicious cheeses, or the tasty “trinxat de Cerdanya”.

In addition, a good part of the products made from these foods have obtained the Denomination of Origin of the ceretana region, contributing to its reputation as a singular gastronomic paradise in the whole of Catalonia.
