The hosts
You will be welcomed by Ezio, who takes care of the livestock and farm production; Norma, the guardian of local culinary traditions and recipes; and Sara, who assists her parents in hosting guests and enthusiastically shares the story of the family and the Piceno territory.
With them, you will immerse yourself in rural life, get hands-on in the kitchen, and uncover the secrets of one of Marche’s signature dishes: the authentic olive all’ascolana, made from the “Ascolana tenera” olive, a local variety that is large, fleshy, and perfect for stuffing.
THE PROGRAMME
We start with an introduction to the farm and its produce, immersing ourselves fully in the context of our surroundings.
Soon, we’ll gather around the table with Norma to prepare one of Marche’s culinary treasures: olive all’ascolana. You’ll learn the traditional recipe for the meat filling, the technique for pitting the olives, and the expert steps for stuffing, breading, and frying them to perfection.
After the workshop, the most anticipated moment arrives: tasting your own golden, crispy olives, accompanied by other farm-fresh products.
At the end of the experience, you will receive a certificate of participation—a keepsake of a special moment shared and enjoyed among the hills of the Marche countryside.
FOR AN EVEN MORE IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE...
To fully soak up the atmosphere of this place, treat yourself to an extraordinary overnight stay: spend the night at the glamping site and sleep in a charming wooden barrel or a yurt surrounded by nature. The silence, broken only by the sounds of the forest, and the scent of the countryside will enchant your senses.
Indulge in the warmth and relaxation of a Finnish hot tub under the starry sky—a moment of pure wellbeing, to reconnect with yourself and embrace the slow rhythm of nature.
And to end the day, enjoy a romantic dinner featuring the farm’s own products.
