Buccellato is a traditional Italian dessert, especially typical of some southern Italian regions, such as Sicily and Calabria, but variants also exist in Tuscany. The term "buccellato" comes from the Latin buccellatum, meaning "round bread" or "round bread." It is a dessert that, although it has several regional variants, is generally prepared on holidays, such as Christmas or other celebrations. Sicilian variant: In Sicily, buccellato is a shortbread-based dessert filled with a filling rich in dried fruits (such as dried figs, walnuts, almonds, pistachios) and honey. It is often enriched with chocolate or candied fruit. The shape of the cake can be round or donut-shaped. The surface is usually decorated with powdered sugar or additional icing.

Roberta
Cesarina from 2018Location: Orciano di Pesaro    Languages: Italian and English
Roberta welcomes us into her beautiful old farmhouse in Orciano di Pesaro, an enchanting little town surrounded by the undulating green hills of the Marchigian countryside, half way between the Appeninni mountains and the Adriatic sea. She tells us that her town was built by a group of wandering Carthaginians, who had managed to escape the Roman defeat of 207 BC, and who eventually decided to settle near the Metauro river.

Tired of the hubbub of city, and yearning for a simpler way of life, Roberta and her husband have been living in the area for many years, and have become truly attached to the cultural heritage of the area. They treasure their family cooking secrets handed down from Roberta’s mother and grandmother, and have become experts in marchgiano cuisine. Today, they are here to take us on a deeply personal journey through their local flavours.
