The Serra de’ Conti Chickpea is a small jewel of the Marche agricultural tradition — a rare and precious legume that tells the story of centuries of rural life, history, and culture.

Grown on the gentle hills of Serra de’ Conti, in the heart of the Vallesina valley (province of Ancona), this chickpea has been recognized as a Slow Food Presidium, a mark of its historical, agricultural, and gastronomic value.

An authentic and unmistakable legume

The Serra de’ Conti Chickpea stands out for its irregular shape and thin skin, which allows for quicker cooking than common chickpeas. Its bold, full-bodied flavor — with rustic, earthy notes — makes it perfect for simple yet characterful dishes, true to the Marche tradition.

Ideal for soups and wholesome recipes

Thanks to its naturally creamy texture, it’s ideal for soups, stews, purées, and legume salads.

Gourmet tips:

Excellent in a classic legume and grain soup, or paired with handmade maltagliati pasta for a rich, rustic dish.

Delicious served cold in a salad, dressed with extra virgin olive oil, aromatic herbs, and seasonal vegetables.

For a creative twist, blend the chickpeas with olive oil, lemon, and rosemary to create a smooth, velvety spread — perfect on crostini or as a side for grilled vegetables.

A wholesome and nutritious food

Rich in plant-based proteins and fiber, the Serra de’ Conti Chickpea is a balanced, nourishing food — ideal for those who seek wellness and flavor in their everyday diet. Perfect for a natural, sustainable lifestyle that respects both health and the environment.
