Le mani in pasta, il cuore nella tradizione emiliana

Ci sono tradizioni che si raccontano. E altre che si imparano vivendole.

Ti diamo il benvenuto nella nostra Acetaia di famiglia, alle porte di Modena, per un'esperienza gastronomica che unisce tre grandi espressioni della cultura emiliana: la pasta fresca fatta a mano, l'Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale di Modena DOP e il piacere di condividere la tavola.

Per circa cinque ore sarai nostro ospite, tra farina, uova, mattarelli, antiche botti e sapori che raccontano la nostra terra.

Imparerai a preparare alcune delle paste più rappresentative della tradizione modenese, scoprirai i segreti del nostro Balsamico e concluderai l'esperienza con un pranzo completo, durante il quale potrai gustare anche le specialità realizzate con le tue mani.

Non serve alcuna esperienza in cucina: bastano curiosità, voglia di imparare e il piacere di stare insieme.

Un benvenuto che sa di casa

L'esperienza comincia con la nostra accoglienza, proprio come piace a noi.

Ti offriremo una fetta di torta artigianale, accompagnata da un espresso, un cappuccino oppure un tè.

Un momento per conoscerci, rilassarci e iniziare a respirare l'atmosfera della nostra casa, dove l'ospitalità è parte integrante di ogni esperienza.

Cooking Class: impara a preparare la vera pasta fresca emiliana

È il momento di rimboccarsi le maniche e mettere le mani in pasta!

Guidato da una sfoglina esperta, entrerai nel cuore di una delle tradizioni gastronomiche più amate dell'Emilia: la preparazione della pasta fresca fatta a mano.

Dall'impasto di farina e uova alla sfoglia tirata con il mattarello, scoprirai gesti, tecniche e piccoli segreti che da generazioni vengono tramandati nelle cucine delle famiglie emiliane.

Durante la lezione pratica imparerai a realizzare:

• Tortellini, uno dei simboli più rappresentativi della tradizione modenese.
• Tortelloni di ricotta, dalla sfoglia sottile e dal ripieno delicato.
• Tagliatelle, tirate e tagliate a mano secondo la tradizione.

Non assisterai semplicemente a una dimostrazione: sarai tu a lavorare l'impasto, stendere la sfoglia e dare forma alla pasta, sempre con il supporto e i consigli della nostra sfoglina.

Un'esperienza coinvolgente, conviviale e adatta anche a chi si avvicina per la prima volta al mondo della pasta fresca.
