Tortelli with a Tail

Redazione

The tortelli con la coda at Agriturismo La Canteina in Veggiola di Ponte dell'Olio are the signature dish of the most authentic Piacenza tradition. Handmade with locally grown, stone-ground flour, these delicate pasta parcels stand out for their complex braided “a treccia” closure, which forms the two characteristic tails. The rich, flavourful filling combines fresh ricotta and herbs, while the dressing features the classic finish of melted butter scented with sage.
