8. Notes on traditionalism, homogeneity of spread and persistence of production rules over time:
\nZuccherini were once very popular in the municipalities of the Firenzuola territory. In fact, they were always eaten at the end of lunch, especially on special occasions and festivals, as well as at wedding receptions. Handmade preparation gives these biscuits a unique flavour, which is lost during the industrial process. The recipe for zuccherini was handed down the generations orally. <\/p>\n
9. Production:
\nThe artisan product is only sold during festivals by the Bruscoli cultural and social sports club as part of a fundraiser. The industrial product (50 tonnes a year) is made by two local bakeries, which sell it in store and to wholesalers. The cultural events that celebrate zuccherini are the “Rassegna enogastronomica mugellana” in Scarperia and the “Dal bosco e dalla pietra” festival, which is held in Firenzuola every year. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":82,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"product-type":[224],"nazione":[],"tipo-prodotto":[],"class_list":["post-16390","product","type-product","status-publish","hentry","category-fresh-pastries-and-bakery-products-biscuits-pastry-and-confectionery","product-type-pat-en"],"acf":{"vt_product_img":"http:\/\/vetrinatoscana.netseven.work\/app\/uploads\/2018\/10\/559_815.jpg","vt_product_logo":"","vt_product_gallery":null,"vt_convenzionale":null,"vt_stagionalita":null,"vt_zona_consegna":null,"vt_modalita_consegna":null,"vt_tempi_consegna":null,"vt_scheda_ex-arsia":null,"logo_consorzio_di_tutela":null,"vt_campo2":"","vt_campo3":"","vt_campo4":"Si producono a Bruscoli, nel comune di Firenzuola.","subtitle":null},"yoast_head":"\n
