The Renga alla brace from La Bottega della Renga is a small jewel of Veronese tradition.
In the culinary tradition of the city of Verona, the “Renga” (that is, herring, preserved smoked under salt, then grilled, chopped, and kept in oil) is the main dish of Ash Wednesday. On this day in Parona (a neighborhood of Verona), along the Adige, the popular “Festa de la Renga” takes place, marking the end of Carnival and the beginning of the fasting and penance period leading up to Easter. Tradition holds that during Lent, fatty foods are avoided, and smoked herring was considered a light yet tasty food.

We recommend eating herring in oil with polenta, but it is also excellent for dressing bigoli: put a small pot with oil on the heat, add a tablespoon of herring per person, heat it well, and the very flavorful sauce is ready.
The recipe varies from family to family, the one from La Bottega della Renga is the most classic: the best herring fillet, slightly smoked, is handcrafted, jarred, and labeled. The result is preserved in the highest quality extra virgin olive oil. This ancient recipe, elaborate but not difficult, allowed the preservation of fish for several days, which is no small feat in times when canned food and refrigeration did not exist.
