Gavi amaretto biscuits are almond-based desserts.
They take their name from the homonymous town of Gavi, where these delicacies are traditionally prepared with the typical shape of crushed balls, externally crisp and with a soft heart inside.
In Gavi and its surroundings you can eat both Piedmontese and Ligurian. But it is the raviolo that creates the union between the regions. The ravioli "a bare ass", as they call it in these parts, that is without any seasoning, is poetry. A stuffing of meat, borage,
parmesan and egg. It is said that he was born here because the Raviolo family would have invented it in the 12th century.
It is an ancient and elaborated recipe ancient and elaborate, the "headcheese" is a terrine made from food waste of meat: the farmers came up with this idea in order to preserve and use once again the waste of pig meat that exceeded from the production of hams, salami and coppa. The version elaborated by Agostino Bertelli butcher of Gavi differs from the original recipe because of the use of noble and less noble cuts of meat; this procedure enhance the flavor of the original recipe.
This cheese has an ancient history background, it was first mentioned in the year 1100 because a story tells us that 50 cheese wheels were sent as a gift by a wealthy man of Tortona to a prelate. The refinement of the product seems already consolidated in 1489, when it was the only cheese served at the wedding banquet of Isabella d'Aragona and Gian Galeazzo Sforza.
