torta degli addobbi
rice and almond tart
A traditional Bolognese tart (also known as torta di riso bolognese), made with rice cooked in milk, almonds, bitter almond liqueur, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, candied citrus, and lemon peel.
Beginning in the 17th century, it would be prepared for the Festa degli Addobbi the 'Feast of the Adorned' in honour of the Eucharist which each parish would celebrate with a procession and offering slices of tart cut into rhomboids.
