Dear pilgrim friend, when you decide to set out and reach the Marche, you will soon discover why this is the only Italian region with a plural name. There are many reasons, and among them is undoubtedly its extraordinary food and wine and craftsmanship<\/b> richness, which will accompany and enrich your walking experience. Here you will find a selection \u2013 unfortunately not exhaustive! \u2013 of the most representative flavors of the territory you will cross. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Food<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In the inland areas of the Marche, you can enjoy typical first courses such as vincisgrassi, duck gnocchi, cappelletti and passatelli in broth, ravioli, tagliatelle, pappardelle<\/b> and the unmistakable Campofilone tagliolini<\/b>, to be paired with traditional sauces.
The Marche land is rich in white and black truffles<\/b>, particularly in the Gola del Furlo<\/b>, Cagli<\/b>, Montefortino<\/b>, and Amandola<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>

The cured meats deserve a special mention:<\/p>

  • Ciauscolo<\/b>, soft and spreadable, typical of the hinterland;<\/li>
  • Carpegna ham<\/b>, in the northern area;<\/li>
  • Fabriano salami, mazzafegato, liver sausages, and hunter’s salamini<\/b>, found in many areas.<\/li><\/ul>

    To accompany the meal, you can taste crescia<\/b>, cheese pizza<\/b>, and pan nociato<\/b>.
    When you arrive in Ascoli Piceno<\/b>, an unmissable ritual awaits you: Ascolana olives<\/b> and fried cream<\/b>, even better if part of a generous plate of Ascolana mixed fry<\/b>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    The Sweets<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Among the traditional sweets, you will find ciambellone<\/b> and tart<\/b> in many variations. In Camerino<\/b>, a special nougat<\/b> is typical, while in other places you may encounter fig lonzino<\/b> and Easter sweet pizza<\/b>.
    In Offida<\/b>, try the characteristic funghetti<\/b>, anise-flavored sweets shaped like small mushrooms. <\/span><\/p>

    During the Carnival period, Marche tables are filled with cavallucci<\/b>, scroccafusi<\/b>, chiacchiere<\/b>, sfrappe<\/b>, and castagnole<\/b>.
    Many of these sweets pair well with traditional drinks such as sour cherry wine<\/b>, cooked wine<\/b>, and sapa<\/b>, a grape must with a long farming history.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Along the way, you will cross territories rich in vineyards, especially in the areas of Cupramontana<\/b> and Offida<\/b>.
    In the early stages, you can taste the Doc Bianchello del Metauro<\/b> and Colli Pesaresi<\/b> (white and red).<\/span><\/p>

    When you reach Cupramontana<\/b>, do not miss the renowned Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi<\/b>, Rosso Conero<\/b> (both Docg), and the fragrant Lacrima di Morro d\u2019Alba<\/b>.
    In San Severino<\/b> and Camerino<\/b>, you can taste the Vernaccia di Serrapetrona<\/b> (sweet and sparkling wine) and the Verdicchio di Matelica<\/b> (Docg).
    In the southernmost stages, between Offida<\/b> and Ascoli Piceno<\/b>, you’ll find Pecorino<\/b>, Passerina<\/b>, Rosso Piceno<\/b> (also Superior) and Falerio dei Colli Ascolani<\/b>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Beer lovers will be surprised to discover that the Marche is fertile ground for craft production: today, there are over 70 local breweries<\/b>.

      Walking in the Marche, you will discover that this land speaks not only through its landscapes but also through the hands of its inhabitants. Marche craftsmanship is a heritage of ancient, patient gestures, repeated for centuries: a silent and concrete way of transforming matter, preserving memory, and telling the soul of a people. <\/p>

      Where hands become a story<\/b><\/p>

      In the workshops of Tolentino<\/b>, the art of leather takes shape; in Fabriano<\/b>, rags and water become paper, as they did in the Middle Ages; between Urbino, Urbania, and Pesaro<\/b>, clay transforms into majolica that has adorned homes for centuries.<\/p>

      Along the way, you will encounter the sound of wrought iron<\/b>, the warm red of copper<\/b> from Force and Comunanza, the elegance of goldsmith<\/b> workshops in Jesi and Fossombrone, the delicacy of bobbin lace<\/b> from Offida, the simplicity of wool carpets<\/b> from Montefeltro, and the woven wicker and bamboo<\/b> from Mogliano.<\/p>

      Objects that hold a soul<\/b><\/p>

      Every object here comes into being slowly: from the wood shaped by the luthiers of Ascoli to the artistic forms of Castelfidardo\u2019s accordions; from the hats of Montappone to the pipes of Cagli and Recanati; from stone that becomes carved travertine in Ascoli\u2019s workshops.<\/p>

      These are objects that do not shout, do not appear: they tell a story. And they tell the same wisdom that the pilgrim learns on the journey: patience, care, the ability to create something beautiful from what is simple and everyday. <\/p>

      An invitation to wonder<\/b><\/p>

      Stop, when you can, in front of an open workshop.
      Let the hands of the artisans speak to your heart: they will remind you that every journey \u2014 like every work of art \u2014 is born one gesture at a time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
