History and geography of our country are so diverse and fragmented that also food in Italy was shaped by centuries of diversification. If one looks at it closely, the art of cooking is a concentrate of local history and culture. Typical food products in Italy come from nature rhythms and historical contingencies. Lately there has been renewed interest in local cooking traditions, and a true passion for 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 cooking.
