Guide to Marche Region sightseeing - things to see and to visit
Marche region has long been one of the most visited parts of Italy. The region has numerous attractive features, including an abundance of beautiful old towns and charming seaside resorts, … Open
One of the unique courses of Marche is brodetto. You can taste its classic variant in Ancona, the capital of the region. For making a brodetto, they use 13 kinds of fish and seafood, onion, garlic, parsley, and olive oil. By the way, they still argue about the origin of the number of ingredients. The religious people claim they embody the number of participants of the “Last Supper”, the patriotic ones think it’s because of the Fountain of Calamo, the symbol of Ancona, which has thirteen masks. And the historians think, this all happened because of the practicality of peasants, who prepared the dish from the seafood leftovers. Just in case, don’t call brodetto a fish soup: the cooks might get offended.
It should be mentioned, there is no “canonic” recipe of brodetto. In Ancona you may find variants with lentils and tomato, in Fano – with vinegar and tomato sauce, in Recanati it is served with toasted bread and in Vasto, they add salt, pepper, and vinegar. One thing is constant – thick consistency, more like a stew, which is prepared in deep dishes for the ingredients not to mix. Another unique dish of Marche is “pit cheese”. They put sheep’s or goat cheese in special boxes and bury them at the depth of two meters for five months. After this, the taste of the product changes for the better. Formaggio di fossa, as the Italians call it, they add to pasta, risotto, salads, and use as a stuffing for the ravioli. Copyright www.orangesmile.com
