It is a local variety tied to the rural tradition of the area, preserved over time thanks to the work of local growers. The Slow Food recognition highlights its cultural as well as culinary value: events such as this show cooking exist precisely to introduce this speciality to a wider audience and to tell the story of the bond between a product and the community that cultivates it.
