Grilled Renga from La Bottega della Renga is a small gem of Veronese tradition. In the culinary tradition of the city of Verona, the “Renga” (that is herring, preserved smoked under salt, then grilled, flaked and kept in oil) is the main dish of Ash Wednesday. On this day in Parona (a district of Verona), along the Adige River, the popular “Festa de la Renga” takes place, marking the end of Carnival and the beginning of the fasting and penance period leading up to Easter. Tradition holds that during Lent, fatty foods are avoided, and smoked herring was considered a light but tasty food.
