The story

About the dish

The central flavors in Calcioni (cargiu’) di Macerata come from ricotta and beef. Slow cooking gives it time to soften, concentrate, and gather savory depth. The profile moves from soft, fresh dairy richness in ricotta to full-bodied savory richness in beef.

It opens a window onto a region where Adriatic seafood meets hill-country pasta, truffles, cured meats and the cooking of small inland towns. On the plate, ricotta translates that context into soft, fresh dairy richness in the dish.
