Seasonal products. From land to sea.

Cesenatico in Autumn. The time of year when the world is tinged with yellow, red, orange. Days shorten, clothes get heavier, and winter slowly approaches.

But, beyond the wonder of colors, autumn boasts a large quantity of seasonal products. Ideal for enriching your recipes with the authentic taste of local specialties. In a territory that thrives on the sea but also develops inland, there's nothing better than a tour among the treasures of the moment.

Let's face it: what would autumn be without chestnuts? Tree branches get heavier and heavier until they drop their burrs. Thorny and pointed, they guard the quintessential autumn fruit. All that's left to do is gather them, open them, and cook what they contain. The sizzling of the pan tells a story that has lasted for generations. Chestnuts dance to the rhythm of the flame and then, once browned, are wrapped in a cloth. It's time to enjoy them!

But it doesn't end there: without leaving the countryside, we can stumble upon another delicacy: loquats. With their late flowering compared to other plants (now proverbial), they are ideal for desserts and jams. Their resistance to cold, moreover, makes them perfect for cultivation in our territory.

And now let's return to the beloved sea: every trace of summer is swept away by the strengthening wind. Waves churn, surmount the rocks, and sometimes advance onto the beach. But what surprises are hidden in the blue? Autumn is the right time to taste three specialties: red mullets, small cuttlefish, mantis shrimp. They are the perfect ingredients to create a fantastic meal: to be enjoyed simply, with elaborate recipes, or to be transformed into sauces to season soups and risottos.

No need to go far: all the pleasure of cooking is at your fingertips.
