This is truly a special product. The Fig Lozenge is a gem of the traditional Marche farmer's heritage, with a long and fascinating history. It's an authentic product made with sweet figs, almonds, walnuts, rum, and anise, all ground and wrapped in fig leaves (or food-grade paper if fig leaves are unavailable), shaping it into the characteristic lozenge form. It's a genuine delight that pairs perfectly with a spoonful of Sapa and a glass of Passito wine, for a gourmet end-of-meal experience.

Mencarelli - The art of Chocolate: From Marchigiana Tradition to the world

The Passion, Quality and The Creativity of Paolo in the Alta Vallesina's Heart

The History

Mencarelli is a company born in Castelplanio (AN), founded on the artisanal wisdom and passion for chocolate of Paolo Mencarelli. The philosophy of the master chocolatier is deeply rooted in both family and Marche artisanal culture, which continually drives him in pursuit of perfection. This journey begins with a meticulous selection of raw materials, including cocoa sourced from South America and Madagascar, and extends to the use of innovative techniques to craft new pairings or reinterpret regional traditions, such as lonzino di fico. Mencarelli's products embody the excellence of the Marche region, grounded in artisanal culture, and are reimagined today thanks to the innovative spirit and creativity of enlightened entrepreneur-artisans like Paolo Mencarelli.
