Parco Naturale Regionale Monti Simbruini

A traditional Christmas sweet in the past, today it can be found in the local bakeries and confectioner's shops. It is characterized by a round shape, a dark brown color, and the taste of walnuts and honey. Murzitti are based on a sheet of pasta dough prepared with superfine flour, eggs, sugar, extra-virgin olive oil, while the filling is based on crushed walnuts, raisins, vermouth, sugar, and honey. The smooth filling is put on the dough, which is rolled and cut into stripes. It is baked in a wood-burning oven.
