COPPA di TESTA Con FARINATA di CECI
Coppa di Testa is an authentic Italian speciality. It is very savory, it is made by a mixture of tongue and lean meat, from the head of the pig. The mixture is roughly minced, cooked and then sacked, still warm, in natural casing . Coppa di Testa is then flavored with orange, lemon, garlic or vinegar, according to the local traditions.
(Legend has it that farinata as we know it today originated in 1284, when Genoa defeated Pisa in the Battle of Meloria. Upon returning from the battle, the Genoese ships were caught in a storm, and several barrels of oil and chickpea flour capsized, soaking in salt water. Due to the shortage of supplies, everything they could salvage was salvaged, and the sailors were served the chickpea and oil mixture, which they, in an effort to make less unpleasant, dried in the sun until it resembled a pancake. On land, the Genoese perfected this makeshift recipe, turning it into the specialty we still enjoy today, which, to mock the defeated, they called the gold of Pisa)

The "BOTTARGA" is a fish product without equal, it has a very intense taste and many people consider it the caviar of the Mediterranean.
