TIGELLE
Tigelle is an ancient Modenese dish of mountain origin that is made by kneading simple ingredients such as flour, water and salt. Once upon a time, this food represented a food habit resulting from the scarcity of available ingredients. The term ‘tigelle’ comes from the circular moulds that were used to bake the dough, the discs were also decorated with six-pointed stars or family crests. With their simple and authentic flavour, they are an ideal food to accompany cured meats and cheeses.
