About the dish

Fanzelto is a traditional pancake-like flatbread originating from Terragnolo. This rare flatbread was made due to the scarcity of wheat in the area, so it's made with a combination of buckwheat (grano saraceno di Terragnolo), water, and salt. Once prepared, the batter is cooked over lard in an iron skillet. Nowadays it's mostly made at home, but it's also served to tourists during local festivals. Fanzelto is traditionally served hot and accompanied by cheese and slices of luganega sausage.
