Spinach Spätzle
These small gnocchi made of egg dough come in many different flavours and with a variety of sauces. Cortina's most popular spätzle are made with spinach, which gives them a green colour that matches the woods of the Dolomites.

Brazorà, the sweet focaccia of Cortina's tradition
Brazorà literally means “to hug” in the local ladin language. This soft, sweet focaccia bread was given such a name because of its wreath shape and because of the occasion when it was prepared.

Cheese Canederli
Stale bread, some cheese and a few other ingredients: canederli are a great example of how simple products can become a very tasty dish. Once a dish of leftovers, today the canederli are considered a local delicacy and can be found in virtually all of Cortina’s mountain huts as well as in some of its most elegant restaurants.

Zeltèn
The zelten is a typical cake of the Dolomites, a recipe that can be found in local cookbooks from the 18th century. With the sweetness and energy of loads of dried fruits, the zelten is just perfect for December's long evenings.
