A heritage of ancient flavors

From August 28th to September 6th, the hamlet of Montefiore in the municipality of Recanati renews its appointment with the 35th Polenta Festival. The event represents a significant testimony to the rural culture of the Marche region, focusing on a culinary preparation that has its roots in the territory's farming past. The festival is spread over six evenings dedicated to highlighting local raw materials, offering the public a rigorous interpretation of gastronomic tradition.

The core of the proposal is the polenta, prepared according to recipes handed down through oral tradition. In addition to the main dish, the food stands prepare a menu that integrates various local specialties, designed to accompany the cornmeal in different variations, from meat sauces to seasonal vegetable preparations. The organization guarantees attentive service that focuses on quality and authenticity, essential elements for keeping the culinary experience offered during the event genuine.
