# Best Souvenirs to Buy in Siena (Not Tourist Junk)
Most 'Siena' souvenirs are made in China. The good ones are specific, edible, or contrada-related.
What visitors ask
Panforte / Ricciarelli?
Local sweets, vacuum-packed for travel. Best from a real pasticceria, not the Campo gift shops.
Pecorino di Pienza?
Aged cheese, vacuum-packed. Survives 24h+ in luggage.
Brunello / Chianti wine?
Worth buying — get it from an enoteca with shipping if buying more than 2 bottles.
Contrada scarves?
Authentic if bought at a contrada museum or society shop, not on Via Banchi di Sopra.
Olive oil?
Buy from a small producer, not a 'gift basket' shop. Check harvest year on the label.
Local tip
Buy edible souvenirs your last morning so they're freshest on arrival home. Wine in checked luggage, cheese and meats in carry-on if cold-packed.
