La pèca del Salbaneo

La pèca del Salbaneo is a traditional dessert from the Vicenza foothills region, created to showcase three ingredients of the area: Marostica cherries (Ciliegia di Marostica I.G.P.), Torcolato wine (D.O.C. Breganze), and extra virgin olive oil from the Cooperativa Pedemontana del Grappa. The pie is made up of multiple layers. It starts with a delicate pastry base infused with olive oil. The next layer is a soft cherry puree, followed by a fragrant crumble made with corn flour and Torcolato wine. The top of the pie is adorned with semi-candied cherries and sugar crystals, creating a beautiful and delicious dessert. The dessert not only showcases local agricultural excellence but also tells a romantic tale from Venetian folklore.
