Torcolo di San Costanzo is a traditional dessert from Perugia shaped like a ring. It is made with a compact, slightly leavened dough 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. The ring shape is one of the dessert’s defining characteristics and is closely tied to its symbolic tradition.
It is produced as a whole cake and intended for direct consumption or for keeping for several days.
