TIRAMISU TASTE EVENT
This is the most popular and well-known Italian dessert in the world. A local tradition says that Tiramisù was supposedly invented by an ingenious 'maitresse' of a pleasure house located in the historic centre of Treviso.
The landlady would have prepared this aphrodisiac and invigorating dessert, to be offered to her customers at the end of the evenings, in order to invigorate them. The recipe is said to derive from 'sbatudin', a mixture of egg yolk beaten with sugar, commonly used by country families of Treviso Territory as a restorative or for newly-weds. Mascarpone, coffee and cocoa was then added to this dessert. 'Tiramisù Taste Event' is a great showcase for this famous dessert.
Once they have crossed the finish line in Valdobbiadene, Participants in Prosecco Cycling will be able to move to nearby Villa dei Cedri for a tasting session, extended to their companions, of the popular spoon dessert always served with Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG.

Moreover, in the relationship with partners and suppliers, Companies having undertaken · or willing to · a path towards full environmental sustainability are privileged.

MARZEMINI AND REFRONTOLO PASSITO DOCG BISCUITS
These are simple biscuits, made with flour, brown sugar, chopped almonds, sunflower seed oil, salt, yeast, lemon, various aromas and Colli di Conegliano Refrontolo Passito DOCG, their distinguishing ingredient.
Refrontolo Passito was Mozart's favorite wine, who in his opera "Don Giovanni" called it "excellent Marzemino". In Refrontolo, the production of Marzemino Passito has been a tradition since 1400.
Harvest takes place at the end of September, when grapes completed the development of their aromatic structure and softened tannins. They are carefully selected and let to dry. When grapes reach the right degree of drying, they are pressed and stripped, best grapes are selected and left to soak in fermentation. The grapes are then removed and, at the end of fermentation, the wine is aged for 36 months in oak barrels and then in bottle.
PROSECCO AND SCAMPI ON MURO DI CA' DEL POGGIO
First the time trial challenge, then the now classic stop to taste Prosecco and scampi at the top of the most famous climb of World Heritage Hills. Muro di Ca' del Poggio will be one one of the most anticipated moments of Prosecco Cycling: the first of three timed climbs to add another great moment of celebration to a day promising to be memorable.
SPIEDO OF ALTA MARCA TREVIGIANA
His Majesty the Spike - 'Spèo' in Treviso idiom - will be set up in the square of the small village of Barbisano. This is a traditional farmer's dish, typical of Treviso Prealps, dating back to a time when meat was rarely included in the diet and was only eaten on a few celebratory occasions.
These are mixed meats - in this case chicken and pork - of different sizes, which are stuffed into skewers interspersed with lard and sage and cooked over the reverberation of a wood flame for 5/6 hours or more and combined with Maranello polenta.
CASATELLA TREVIGIANA DOP
Casatella Trevigiana DOP, produced by Latteria di Soligo, is a fresh cow's milk cheese with raw, soft, shiny and slightly creamy paste, delicate aroma and sweet taste. It is the hallmark of cheese art handed down from generation to generation in Treviso territory. Mild and fresh in the mouth, it is characterized by a sweet and strong taste, balanced by a light and delicate aroma.
PROSCIUTTO VENETO
As early as 1400, Michele Savonarola, a Paduan doctor and gastronome spoke of a ham with a lively and full flavor, coming from a perfect balance between the choice of raw materials, salting times, duration and maturing conditions. Its aroma is delicate and personal, a classic for the most refined tables. Among these, Prosecco Cycling could not be missing, which has always been committed to promoting the best food products in the area.
FISH FROM UPPER ADRIATIC SEA
We chosen a sustainable path also for gourmet fish manufacturing from Venetian aquaculture beeing, in spite of other system of animal breeding, the most efficient breeding system to limit effect on use of resources such as water, soil and energy.
Fish farming brings a real benefit to conservation of environmental resources and to protection and maintenance of habitats and biodiversity, safeguarding some species otherwise destined to extinction.
