Easter cake

It is a salty cheese cake very soft because

it is well leavened, its shape is reminiscent

of Panettone and has obtained the P.A.T.
(traditional food product) recognition. It is

also called “Easter Pizza” and it should be
eaten on Easter morning in the abundant

breakfast where you can also add capocollo,
boiled eggs and wine. Typical Food & Famous Wine in Umbria

For the creation of this cheese goodness,

eggs, flour, lard, salt, parmesan cheese, pecorino cheese, Gruyère cheese, oil and yeast are masterfully mixed to-
gether. The dough or dough must be worked with energy, then you grease the moulds, possibly terracotta, and then

fill them with the dough taking care that it does not exceed half; finally you place the moulds in a warm and humid
place.

Orvieto

Orvieto, a city that rests on a large hill of vol-
canic tufa, made of clayey layers that have
followed one another over the centuries,
thanks to the eruptions of volcanoes and
the inexorable work of rain and wind that
have shaped its forms. It is said that it was
the Etruscans, in the mists of time, who dug
the first tuff caves to make them into cellars
and even today wine still seeks rest here. The
city is so linked to this wine that it has given
it its name, a rare fact reserved only for gre-
at wines. Distinctive features that continue
uninterruptedly over the centuries to testify
to the indissoluble bond between Orvieto
and its wine are archaeology, art, history, 171
craftsmanship and literature, so much so that the production of quality Orvieto has been appreciated and celebra-
ted over time by poets, popes, artists and travelers. Curiosity: long before the rows of vines were grown in trees, a
diffused practice used throughout Etruria, which consisted in cultivating the vine marinated to live support trees,
such as elms, olive trees and oaks. The “Orvieto Doc” DOC wines are mainly obtained from the white grape varieties
Procanico (Trebbiano Toscano) and Grechetto.
The dry version of Orvieto has a straw yellow colour. With hints of fresh fruit, softened by hawthorn
flowers, honey, hazelnuts, musk and a disturbing roundness that comes from the tufa soil. Slightly
almond aftertaste of great freshness and flavor.
