From
within Paradise Possible, the organization which has been promoting
everything about Le Marche for over 10 years via its website www.paradisepossible.com,
emerges Marche UK, a new company with the mission of taking Le
Marche region of central Italy, literally to the world.
Giving niche producers a presence
on an international platform by sharing facilities and operations in
the UK, Marche UK combines their individual strengths into a critical
mass, thus overcoming barriers of scale even for small orders. Marche
UK is not an importer, but a company which embodies the direct
presence of its producers in the market, by making the artisan and
gastronomic traditions of Le Marche available in the UK.
Market manager Giovanni Tasco,
the face of Marche UK, is the main point of contact between the
producers, customers and partners. He is dedicated to promoting the
people, the places and the companies, so that each product is fully
appreciated by potential customers through tastings, workshops and
other promotional activities.
Appealing to restaurants and
hotels alike, as well as to pubs and bars, these artisan food and
wine products are gathered in 'The Collection', a compendium
presenting the offerings of the first 20 speciality producers
selected for the quality, uniqueness and genuineness of their ranges,
and including over 200 lines.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
New on the market is La Pasta di
Aldo, a pasta which outstripped all others in a tasting by
Michelin-star chef Heston Blumenthal of the Fat Duck, who, in his
book 'In Search of Perfection' said that this is 'perhaps the finest
pasta in Italy' - now available here through Marche UK. Created and
developed in a basement by a husband and wife duo, for each pasta
shape a different mixture of semolina is used. The dough is hand-kneaded
and then hung on racks to dry slowly at a low temperature for
outstanding results.
Bruco's Chocolate filled with a
drop of extra virgin olive oil, Salumificio del Conero's Ciauscolo -
an amazingly soft salami - Pecorino di Fossa - cheese specially
matured in caves - Bedetti's 'Ugly but Good' cookies and Spelt and
lemon cookies, Bosco D'Oro's Truffle cream, Azienda Agraria del
Carmine's Ascolana and Aromatic oils, not to mention wines such as
Rosso Conero, the trendy and sought after Lacrima di Morro D'Alba and
Vernaccia di Serrapetrona are just some of the many speciality foods
and drinks from Le Marche waiting to be discovered.
Sloping down from the Apennines
to the Adriatic sea across the gentle hills of the countryside, this
is a region offering, within a small territory, everything one would
expect from Italy. Perfect harmony between nature, culture and
society, deep-rooted links with tradition, and a passion for simple
yet skilfully made dishes from authentic recipes. The quality and
genuineness of the many unusual and delicious products are at the
basis of the excellence of the region's food and wine. It is this
excellence that Marche UK is taking to the world.
