Introduction
In his book, entitled “Science in the kitchen and the art of eating well”, Artusi stated: “When you hear someone speak about Bolognese cooking, salute it, because this cooking deserves it”.
That is why Bologna is called “the Fat”; its opulent cooking is known worldwide.
This culinary art is not only based on tortellini, lasagne and mortadella but there are many other specialities making Bologna cooking unique and inimitable.
In this guide we will tell you about Bologna delicacies, taking you through the typical places of the city so that you can learn about recipes and choice ingredients... in one word the “Bolognesità”. Only through its food can you appreciate the true Bolognese essence and soul.
Bologna’s pasta is made with eggs and flour, such as its famous tagliatelle. They have to have the “perfect” length and thickness. The official measurements of “tagliatella alla Bolognese” are: 8 millimetres once cooked, 6.5-7 millimetres raw and this is equal to the 12,270-th part of the height of the Torre Asinelli. These measurements are deposited with notary act at the Chamber of Commerce of Bologna.
