Shared Experience
Your experience
I look forward to welcoming you to my home, just outside Bergamo, where I will teach you how to prepare traditional Polenta Taragna with local cheeses in a classic copper pot. We'll pair it with delicious Bergamasco salami and spinach with Parmesan. While the polenta cooks, we’ll prepare the cheese to add to it, and I'll show you how to make tasty appetizers with a chicken and lettuce sauce, which we'll enjoy as a starter. To finish, there will be dessert, coffee... and a digestif!

Cesarina from 2024Location: Bergamo Languages: Italian and EnglishMy name is Alessandro Carlini, I was born in Milan in 1961 to parents from Emilia. My father was originally from Sestola, a mountain village in the province of Modena, and he taught me how to make Berlenghi, a typical specialty from that part of the Apennines. These are very thin crêpes made from a simple, liquid batter consisting of water, flour, and salt, which is called "colla." Another specialty from the Modenese Apennines is Crescentine (better known as Tigelle), a small, round type of bread, which, like Berlenghi, are traditionally served with Modenese pesto—a blend of lard, garlic, and rosemary, accompanied by Parmesan cheese. Alternatively, these dishes can be paired with cured meats, cheeses, vegetables, or Nutella for a sweet version.
