Sbrisolona is a cake of Mantuan origin. The name Sbrisolona, comes from "brisa", crumb, because of the grainy, hard texture of the cake, in fact it should be roughly kneaded and then dropped in large crumbs in the cake pan. The origin of the Sbrisolona cake is ancient, but above all humble, the ingredients are the poor of the countryside, corn flour, lard and almonds, the taste is a riot of richness.

Sbrisolona is eaten at any time of the year, but above all it is a cake born to be dipped in a good sweet wine. The wines are usually those of the Mantua-Emilia area: Malvasia and Moscato.
