Emilia-Romagna tradition, shaped by hand

Small in shape and generous in character, our Sfoglia lorda al tuorlo piccante is traditional handmade pasta expressed with a bold Emilian accent.
This is a meeting of delicacy and strength, held inside one of the smallest shapes on the table. Nothing is excessive, yet every element leaves a clear impression.
The first taste is gentle. The sfoglia is tender, the yolk rounded and generous. A moment later, the ’nduja begins to unfold, leaving a warm and lingering finish.
Yolk and ’nduja move in opposite directions: one mellow and velvety, the other bold and spicy. Together, they find a balance between richness and heat.
The heat does not come from chilli scattered through the dish, but from ’nduja. Deeply savoury and gently smoky, it brings warmth that develops gradually rather than arriving all at once.
Then comes the egg yolk: rich, smooth and enveloping. It gives the dish its golden depth and creates a softness that follows the pasta without concealing it.
Small and imperfect by nature, sfoglia lorda is not designed to impress through extravagance. Its character is found in its proportions, its softness and the craft hidden inside every little square.
The curious name comes from the way the filling is spread thinly across the sfoglia. It barely “dirties” the pasta, leaving only a fine veil between the two golden layers.

A fine sheet of fresh egg pasta, a delicate filling and another layer folded over the top. Cut into small squares, each piece carries the quiet precision of Emilian pasta-making.
