About the dish

Torta Bertolina is a simple, golden-brown, round cake made with fragrant uva fragola , also known as Concord or strawberry grapes , as the main ingredient. Its exact origins are unknown, but nowadays it is usually associated with the northern Italian province of Cremona, especially the city of Crema. Since it is usually homemade, there are many variations of the recipe, but the main characteristics always remain unchanged: sweet golden crust spotted with dark purple grapes and the unmistakable scent of sweet uva fragola.
