Visso local products: what to buy
The best-known product is ciauscolo. The name recalls the Latin cibusculum, meaning "small food": it is a product of the farming tradition of the Macerata area. More generally, all the cured meats and pork products of the norcineria tradition (the craft of pork butchery) are highly regarded. At Calabro, cured meats come in all the traditional types: ciauscolo, sausages, lonza (cured pork loin), mazzafegato (liver sausage), prosciutto and salami studded with lard.
Among the cheeses, pecorino stands out. It comes from the Sopravissana sheep, a breed once highly prized for the quality of its wool. In August the town holds the sagra del formaggio pecorino, a pecorino cheese festival, with an exhibition of local products. Anyone traveling in that period can therefore find many of the area's specialties at a single event.
The local pantry also includes produce from the land. Lentils, farro and cicerchia (grass pea), legumes of the Sibillini, are typical, along with black truffle and summer truffle (scorzone). The specialties also include honey, trout and castrato (mutton).
Trout is linked to the Nera river: both brown trout (trota fario) and salmon trout are farmed. The Troticoltura Eredi Cherubini di Biaggi Giuseppe is based in the Valle di Ussita, in the municipality of Visso, within the Sibillini National Park. The business was started in 1952 by Domenico Cherubini. Today it is run by his grandson Giuseppe Biaggi.
For desserts, the local specialties are maccheroni dolci (sweet pasta) and the torta Paolo da Visso cake.
