The flavours of Le Marche
A long lunch, something delicious from the market or an evening at a table on a terrace: food is part of enjoying Le Marche. The region offers plenty of dishes and products to discover.
From the region to your plate
Try the stuffed, fried olives from Ascoli or choose brodetto, an Adriatic fish stew. Vincisgrassi, a rich lasagne, is another speciality of Le Marche. For something sweet, there is frustenga, a cake with dried fruit and nuts.
Little delicacies
Markets and local producers offer mushrooms, truffles, cured meats and sheep’s cheeses. Look for porchetta, ciabuscolo, a soft, spreadable salami, and different varieties of pecorino. Bring some back for lunch or drinks at your accommodation.
Discover local olive oil
Olive groves and local mills are part of the landscape and everyday life here. The different oils are well worth discovering, perhaps with a simple piece of bread.
A glass of something local
Le Marche produces many wines from local grape varieties. Discover white Verdicchio, red Rosso Piceno and vino cotto, the traditional “cooked” wine.
