The Ascolana olives are surely the most representative traditional dish of the gastronomy of Marche region, appreciated and known all over the world. This ancient recipe was born at the end of the 1800’s and it is based on the use of “tender Ascoli” olives, generally kept in a brine seasoned with wild fennel seeds and local aromatic herbs, and also three different types of meat, that is beef, pork and chicken (or turkey), together with Parmesan cheese, vegetables and aromas.
