Torcolo di San Costanzo is a traditional ring-shaped cake from Perugia, made with a compact, slightly leavened dough. It is prepared with simple ingredients such as flour, sugar, eggs, butter or oil, enriched with raisins, candied fruit, and sometimes anise seeds or pine nuts. The surface is golden and lightly scored, while the inside remains firm yet soft. Its ring shape is one of the cake’s defining features, connected to its symbolic tradition. It is produced whole and intended to be eaten as is or kept for several days.
