Marche
Food and Wine

The Marche landscape is characterized by three elements: the sea, the mountains and countryside, with more than 100,000 where, in the past, the majority of the population resided.

Thanks to the special shape of the area, dominated by mountains and overlooking the sea, the cuisine is very rich and alternates between strong flavors from the mountains, mainly meat, fish dishes and seafood, typical of the coast.

Specialties and local products:

• Olive all’ascolana, large and tasty stuffed olives, a symbol of the Marche cuisine.
• Vincisgrassi, a kind of lasagna where thin sheets of pasta are served with a ragout of mixed meat, guts and various aromas, along with white sauce and parmesan cheese. For some the term “vincisgrassi” comes from the the name of the Austrian general Windschar Graetz who in 1799 besieged Ancona, attributing the authorship to his personal chef.
• Spaghetti mari e monti, based on squids and mushrooms which combine the flavors and aromas of the mountains and the sea.
• Brodetto di mare, which every city of the Marche customizes by adding some food that helps to make it unique.
• Maccheroncini e Tagliatelle di Campofilone
