About Carrara
Carrara's identity is carved from its marble, but its flavors come from the mountains too — the cured lard of Colonnata, aged in marble basins, is the taste that defines this corner of Tuscany. The most popular experiences pair quarry landscapes with that local specialty, like the Carrara Marble Quarries 4x4 Tour with Lardo di Colonnata Tasting or the longer Carrara Marble Quarries Jeep Tour with Lardo Tasting, both of which end with a tasting rather than just a viewpoint.

Frequently asked questions
Carrara's food culture is tied to its marble economy. Colonnata lard is cured in marble basins in the village above the quarries, so a tasting here is inseparable from the landscape that produced it. Most tours combine a 4x4 or jeep route through the quarry basins with a stop for lard, making it a food experience rooted in a specific place rather.
