Farina Bóna-Kugeln mit Sellerie*


It must be as fine as silk threads: Farina Bóna, the flour made from roasted maize. Mixed with water, and on festive days with wine, it was the everyday food of the inhabitants of the Onsernone Valley in the Swiss canton of Ticino for centuries.
In the meantime, there are a multitude of modern recipes with the tasty flour: from soups to cakes to small antipasti dishes. The latest creations can be tasted at the Festa della Farina Bóna in Onserone.
