Local Foods in Italy: Le Marche Region

Enjoying Italian food is the best way to discover the history and geography of our country.


The history and geography of our country is very fragmented and the various foods in Italy reflect perfectly this diversification.

If one looks at it closely, the art of cooking and preparing food is a concentrate of local history and culture.

Typical food products come from nature rhythms and historical contingencies.

Lately there has been in our country a renewed interest for Italy food culture and our culinary legacy.

Le Marche region has a strong rural tradition and its food has been shaped by centuries of symbiosis between man and nature.

Freshness and seasonality are the staple ingredients of Italian food.

Le Marche cuisine in particular is simple and hearty, based on the best ingredients from land and sea.
