Erbazzone and Scarpasot
These two delicacies date back to the medieval period. Erbazzone is a puff pastry pie stuffed with a tasty filling made of vegetables and cheese that has remained unchanged in time.
The difference with Correggio’s Scarpasot lies in the fact that the second lacks of pastry. The old traditional versions of this pie included frying in pork lard until it became very dark and with a crunchy consistency. Nowadays a few pieces of lard and pork are put on the pastry.
