Another specialty is the fava di Favalanciata, a local broad bean that a recent project aims to revive. After the earthquake, two local entrepreneurs turned it into a cream for dressing pasta or spreading on crostini. The company also offers a version with local guanciale (cured pork cheek).

Mushrooms and truffles appear often on the table, and the mountain cooking of the Piceno hinterland uses wild boar, truffle, porcini mushrooms and local meats.
