New formula for the IX edition of the Tortellino Festival in Bologna: after skipping 2020 due to the pandemic, we are back with forks in hand in a new edition. This year it is a gala dinner that sees the tortellino as the absolute protagonist. In collaboration with the Municipality of Bologna, theTOur-tlen Association wishes to put Tortellino back at the center of attention of the city by paying homage to it with an adequate table service on the evening in which it will be given the De.Co. recognition (Municipal Name). The award underlines the work carried out, together with the previous administration, on the guidelines for the production of a Bolognese “supply chain” tortellino that maintains the ingredients of the recipe deposited in the Chamber of Commerce and adapts to the modern needs of traceability, sustainability and ethics. The intent is therefore to guarantee the consumer by promoting a typical recipe in the ingredients and packaging processes. The De.Co. it is also attributed to the Tour-tlen association and the Tortellino Festival for its commitment to promoting a central dish in the Bolognese tradition: congratulations!
