Ciambella (Brazadela)

The ciambella, better known in the Ferrara area as Brazadela, is a simple and extremely tasty dessert with ancient origins. During the Renaissance, ciambella was mainly prepared during holidays and family gatherings, special occasions when precious ingredients such as eggs, butter and milk were used to create a rustic-flavoured delicacy with a compact texture, ideal for dipping in sweet wine at the end of a meal or in milk during a snack. Over the centuries, the Brazadela recipe spread to the provinces of Romagna, but the original recipe is still claimed by the Province of Ferrara, where every family uses its own recipe and it is now easy to find in all bakeries and pastry shops. In 2021, Brazadlìn, the biscuit version of the typical Brazadela, obtained De.Co. certification.
