Spongata: A sweet journey into history
La Spontata is a typical dessert of the province of Reggio Emilia and other Italian locations, like Parma, Modena and some areas of Tuscany and Liguria. It is a cake with a crunchy shell of shortcrust pastry that contains a rich and spicy filling based on honey, dried fruit, candied fruit and spices, all harmoniously balanced.
Its name probably derives from the Latin term sponge, which means "sponge", because of the prick -class appearance of the surface, obtained with small holes that allow the filling to cook evenly.
The spongata was already appreciated in the Renaissance and was often offered as a Christmas present by the noble families. Still today, This dessert is synonymous with celebration and conviviality, A symbol of Emilian gastronomic culture to be shared with their loved ones.
