The economy of Sabaudia is mostly based on agriculture due the presence of numerous farms in its territory. The cultivation is mainly represented by fruit and vegetables: tomatoes, peppers, courgettes, aubergines, melons, water melons, kiwis and grapes which are used by local producers for remarkable wines. Appreciated all over, and particularly in Northern Europe, is the production of Mediterranean and tropical flowers such as orchids and bougainvilleas. Cattle breeding is also widespread: in fact , the very emblem of this marshland is the buffalo. Buffalo mozzarella is the best known and appreciated cheese produced in the area, together with provola, caciocavallo and ricotta.The lack of a port does not favour fishing, but Sabaudia has an excellent production of mussels, clams and oysters in the brackish water of the lakes. |
