Saba is a thick, dark-coloured syrup with a sweet taste and a very pleasant aroma. A typical product of the Emilian farming tradition, it is obtained by slowly cooking fresh grape must. It is delicious with seasoned cheeses, on ricotta or polenta*; it is an excellent condiment for cooked vegetables or boiled meats. Try it on ice cream too!

*a savoury thick maize porridge, typical of Italy.
