In the past the kitchen of Tredozio consisted of humble dishes like Paciarela, a typical polenta in the area. Is a complete dish consisting of modest ingredients like corn meal, beans and tomato paste.
The Paciarela must be savored warm, but a way even tastier to eat is fried. To prepare it is necessary to cool the mixture made of polenta and beans, then spill out of a cut, cut into thin slices and fry them in boiling oil.
Every year you can enjoy the impressive Paciarela during the Bartolaccio Festival which takes place the first two Sundays in November.
