Gastronomic Shopping Among the Castles of Jesi

You can, for example, start right in Jesi, with a stop at Pasticceria Bardi, a temple of crispy and sugary meringues, ideal to accompany coffee. At the Enoteca Regionale delle Marche, you can find and taste a rich selection of local wines, the most famous of which is the Verdicchio from the Castelli di Jesi. At the Società Agricola Arcafelice, you can immerse yourself in a complete supply chain of products: organic Marchigiana beef, typical cold cuts such as ciaiuscolo, Fabriano salami, sausages, and capocollo. Then there are oils, honey, jams, and traditional biscuits. At the Caseificio Piandelmedico, from the Azienda Agraria Trionfi Honorati, you can find a wide variety of cheeses made from cow and buffalo milk: caciotte, robiola, ricotta, mozzarella, and small flavored caciottine with rosemary, fennel, or chili pepper. Leaving Jesi towards Pianello Vallesina, it’s worth stopping at Apicoltura Miele Peloni, which produces a distinctive honey of the area: sunflower honey, as well as acacia, wildflower, chestnut, and honeydew. At the Otello pastry shop in Castelplanio, the must-tries are chocolate pralines flavored with Verdicchio, vincotto, and sour cherry wine pralines.
