Torta di riso bolognese · Bologna
Bolognese baked rice cake: arborio rice simmered in milk with lemon zest, almonds, candied citron and a touch of amaretto, set firm in a tin, baked and served in small diamond-cut pieces.
Torta di riso has been on Bolognese tables since at least the 16th century, when the dish appears in court cookbooks of the Este duchy. It became the classic dessert of San Petronio (Bologna's patron saint) on 4 October and Easter Monday. The diamond cut is the canonical Bolognese serving format. Pasticceria Atti and Sfoglia Rina sell it across the year; every Bologna trattoria with a dessert tradition keeps a slice on the counter for the after-lunch espresso.
