Litterally Purcedduzzi means little pigs! Its name comes from the shape of this dish which actually resembles the face of little, cute, baby pigs. Purcedduzzi are small, funny, fried gnocchi with a sweet flavour and an orange aroma, decorated with almonds and covered with honey. According to local customs, the last Purcedduzzo should be eaten on January 17th in honor of St. Antony the Abbot, Saint and Protector of animals.
