Camerino local products: what to buy

Torrone is the sweet that Camerino considers its symbol. It used to be made in every home and today it is always on the table at Christmas. It holds the municipal designation of origin (DE.C.O.) and has entered the Guinness World Records. In the classic version, almond torrone is made with wildflower honey and toasted almonds. A workshop in town makes it from fall to Easter. A festival is also dedicated to this sweet.

Among cured meats, ciauscolo stands out. It is a spreadable salami, one of the area's flagship products. It has IGP status. For meat, one of the town's leading butchers offers Marchigiana breed beef, porchetta and sausages. It is the Bellesi butcher shop. Other meats and cured meats can be found at La Boutique della Carne.

Egg pasta is another typical purchase. Maccari pasta, with the Qualità Marche label, is made from fresh grade A eggs and first-extraction semolina. “La Pasta di Camerino” was voted “Sapore dell'anno 2016” (flavor of the year) by consumers. Semolina pasta and pasta from Hammurabi ancient wheat are also sold under the same brand.

For sweets there is the Braghetti pastry shop. For bread there are Panificio Sordini and Forno a Legna Frinconi. Fruit and vegetables can be bought at Angolo di Frutta e Verdura and at Ortofrutta. Truffles are sold when in season.
