Did you know?

Emilia-Romagna is one of the wealthiest and most developed regions in Europe.

Cereals, potatoes, maize, tomatoes and onions are the most important agricultural products, along with fruit and grapes for the production of wine. 

The geology varies, with lagoons and saline areas in the north and many thermal springs throughout the rest of the region

Somewhere between a tiramisu and a trifle, this delicious zuppa inglese recipe looks visually stunning with shocking pink sponge contrasting against rich vanilla custard and dark chocolate. A fantastic dessert from Emilia Romagna.
