Marche
Marche in tavola
The Marche region lies along Italy’s central Adriatic coast and is home to great culinary traditions, like steamy fish soups, and plump meat-stuffed olives.
Ciauscolo
Ciauscolo is not your average Italian sausage.
It has the texture of a paté and is eaten spread on a piece of bread. It is believed to come from the Gallic people who were living in the Marche region of Italy at one point. They prepared a paté made with minced meat that was conserved in terracotta terrines.
