| LE MARCHE - TYPICAL DISHES
Another interesting aspect of Marche is that for each change of landscape a new culinary tradition exists. As one gradually moves away from the coast and approaches the mountains, the smell of fresh Adriatic fish is replaced by the typical flavours of the hinterland.
There are lots of "dishes" to try and to enjoy: "Vincisgrassi" (local lasagne), Olive ascolane (fried olives stuffed with meat), "Ciauscolo" (local sausage garlic flavoured), "Pecorino cheese", "Caciotta di Urbino" (seasoned cheese), "Prosciutto di Carpegna", "Salame di Fabriano", "Maccheroni di Campofilone", white truffles, extra virgin olive oil and, of course, the "Brodetto" (local "bouillabaisse" with at least six different kinds of fresh Adriatic fish).
