Hunter's Feast
• Friggione: a traditional sauce originating from Emilia-Romagna. It features a savoury blend of slow-cooked onions, tomatoes, and lard or olive oil, resulting in a rich and flavourful condiment. It's often served as a spread on crusty bread or tigelle.
• Wild Boar Stew: Tender cuts of wild caught wild-boar are slow-cooked with aromatic herbs and spices, creating a rich and flavourful dish. This hearty ensemble offers a symphony of textures and tastes that delight the senses and warm the soul.
• Polenta: a traditional Northern Italian dish made from creamy, cooked cornmeal. Pairs perfectly with savoury toppings, ideal for adding rustic charm to any meal.
Villa degli Olmi, originally built as a hunting lodge by my husband’s grandfather, continues to uphold its rich heritage.
Surrounded by our lands that are still used for wildlife population control, the estate is home to wild boars among other species. In our cooking course, we'll focus on preparing dishes using wild boar meat sourced directly from animals hunted on our property. These animals did not suffer in captivity, and provide an healthy and sustainable alternative to commercially raised meat.
Wild boar has been a staple in our local cuisine since the days of the Roman Empire and throughout the Middle Ages. Join us to experience this centuries-old culinary tradition. You'll savour the rich, authentic flavours that have been cherished by generations of hunters, enjoying a taste of history with every bite.

But today, I'm thrilled to welcome you to a unique experience. Drawing from the cherished recipes passed down through generations by my grandmother, I'm here to teach you the time-honoured secrets of Bolognese cuisine.
