The tradition of “merenda contadina” depended once on the rhythm of field work and on the alternating seasons.
When preservation techniques didn’t as yet exist only season products could be enjoyed.
When working hours increased also the meals were more frequent, from three to five. The nutritional value should in fact be suitable for the fatigue of long working days. Once and still today the farmers work began at dawn and their breakfast consists in omelette, peas and beans, hodgepodge or a piece of ring shaped cake. When the bell stroke 9 in the morning, it was time for a nourishing “merenna”. Crescia, ham and cakes were brought by women to the fields with large baskets. They drank water and lemon or wine or ‘Acetello’ a drink made of water and vinegar. At midday lunch was at the farm, then back to the fields until 5pm. That was the time for the “merennetta”, a meal halfway between lunch and dinner, that was usually eaten after the sunset.
Agriturismo l’Ulivo (Organic farm) brings back the ancient flavours renewing the tradition of the farmers’ merenda. Our guests are offered only healthy and traditional products such as home made bread, cured meat, high hill meadow cheeses, crescia and a delightful bruschettas with home made olive oil. It is produced by the olives of ancient trees “the same that produced them in those ancient times”. Jams and home baked cakes are then accompanied by the traditional and rare Sapa, obtained by the must of selected organic Verdicchio grapes. Excellent Verdicchio dei Colli Esini is served.
