Lampascioni Wild Hyacinth Bulbs in Oil

Lampascioni in Oil, a Speciality of Basilicata

Lampascioni in Oil are one of the most authentic specialities of the culinary traditions of Basilicata and Puglia. Made from distinctive wild-growing bulbs, they are prepared according to traditional recipes and preserved in oil to retain their flavour. Their unique taste combines pleasantly bitter, tangy and gently sweet notes, making them a favourite on Southern Italian tables.

A Rural Tradition Passed Down Through Generations

Gathering lampascioni has long been a tradition deeply connected to the land and rural culture of Basilicata. After careful preparation, they are preserved in oil to maintain their texture, aroma and quality. Their intense flavour makes them a sought-after speciality for anyone wishing to rediscover the authentic tastes of Southern Italian cooking.

Ideal as an Appetiser with Cured Meats, Cheeses and Meat

Lampascioni in Oil are perfect as an appetiser, on a board of Lucanian cured meats and mature cheeses, or as a side dish with roasted and grilled meat. They can also enrich salads and aperitifs with a distinctive touch of Mediterranean tradition.
