Tortellino First Made in Bologna? That’s a Lie!
They keep telling us that tortellino was first made in Bologna—but that’s a lie! We’ve gone to war for far less, even for a bucket! Modena has a long and rich food tradition, and we don’t need to lie about it. Here, recipes are a state affair and are carefully guarded by the old women known as “le rezdore.” A misspelling of a word could be fatal, but don’t worry—we’re here to guide you safely through it all.
