01 / ABOUT THE DISH
About the dish
Petrali are traditional Christmas cookies from Reggio Calabria, Italy, cherished for their distinctive half-moon shape and rich, spiced fillings. The dough, typically a shortcrust pastry, encases a mixture of dried figs, walnuts, almonds, and citrus zest, often enhanced with vino cotto (cooked wine) and coffee, imparting a deep, festive flavor. These cookies are customarily decorated with an egg wash and colorful sugar sprinkles or drizzled with dark chocolate, adding to their festive appearance. Petrali hold a special place in Calabrian holiday traditions, symbolizing warmth and celebration during the Christmas season.
