Gastronomic specialties of Lake Como: the Toc

Bellagio_Admin_3b / Territory / Leave a Comment

Il Toc Bellagino: a dive into the traditional flavors of Lake Como

Italian cuisine is renowned for its extraordinary variety of regional dishes, each of which tells the story and culture of the place it comes from.

Among the many delicacies of Lombardy, the ‘toc Bellagino’ stands out as a symbol of authenticity and genuine flavors.

This dish, rooted in the peasant tradition of Lake Como, represents a unique and engaging culinary experience.

The Toc

A genuine experience at Baita TreeB Bellagio

The Ragel

The charm of tradition

What is Toc?

Bellagino toc is a variant of polenta, but with characteristics that make it special.

The base of the dish is cornmeal, which is slowly cooked in a copper pot. To this, butter and local alpine cheese are added, which, melting slowly during cooking, give the dish a creamy texture and an intense flavor.

Preparing polenta takes time and dedication. The mixture must be stirred continuously with a wooden spoon, a gesture that requires patience but is essential to achieve the right consistency and prevent the polenta from sticking or burning.

This process not only allows for a smooth and velvety dish but also enables the flavors to blend perfectly, creating a balance between the sweetness of the cornmeal and the saltiness of the cheese.

Sharing plate

Toc Bellagino is not just a dish, but a true social ritual.

Traditionally, it is served directly from the cauldron onto a wooden board placed in the center of the table. The diners sit around, ready to share this tasty dish, often accompanied by condiments such as cured meats, meat, or vegetables.

This way of serving the wine promotes conviviality and the pleasure of being together, reflecting the hospitality and warmth typical of the local culture.

A genuine experience at Baita TreeB Bellagio

If you want to experience the authentic taste of Bellagio, Baita TreeB Bellagio is the perfect place to do so. Immersed in nature and with a spectacular view of Lake Como, the hut offers a perfect environment to savor this traditional dish.

“Alla Baita TreeB Bellagio, the toc is prepared following the traditional recipe, using high-quality ingredients and with the same care and dedication as in the past.

Our chalet hosts private and corporate events, offering a chance to enjoy the delicious flavors of Bellagino in a cozy, rustic setting.

This makes the experience even more special, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the local culture and flavors.

Il ragel

Once emptied, the cauldron, without being washed, is used to prepare Ragel, a special mulled wine, ideal for digesting such a substantial dish as Toc. I

Ragel is a red wine-based drink, enriched with cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, sugar, grated orange and lemon zest, and a chopped apple.

Once all the ingredients have been added to the pot, it is returned to the heat: the alcohol in the wine evaporates and is ignited, creating a spectacular flame effect, perfect as a backdrop to some traditional tale. When the alcohol vapors are exhausted, the Ragel is ready to be enjoyed.

The secret of this drink lies in the residue of Toc that remains in the pot: the flavor of polenta adds an indescribable touch, making Ragel a delicious and unique digestive.

The allure of tradition

The toc Bellagino is much more than just a dish. It’s a journey through the authentic flavors of Lombardy, an opportunity to rediscover the culinary traditions of the past and to appreciate the beauty of sharing a meal.

Prepared with genuine ingredients and through a time-consuming and passionate process, our dish is the perfect expression of country cooking, where every gesture and every flavor tells a story.

At Baita TreeB Bellagio, this story comes to life, offering visitors a unique opportunity to savor a dish that encapsulates the essence of Lombard tradition and hospitality. So, the next time you find yourself on Lake Como, don’t miss the chance to taste the Toc Bellagino and let its flavors and history transport you.
