SAPA Nem

Sapa is a syrupy sweetening agent made in the Marche region of Italy by simmering down grape juice to reduce its volume. In Italy today, it is called "Mosto Cotto" (cooked must.) Mosto cotto must not be confused with vino cotto which is the must of any of the local varieties of grapes, heated in a copper vessel until reduced to a half or third of its original volume, and then fermented. Instead, Sapa or mosto cotto is made by the slow cooking and reduction over many hours of non-fermented grape must. It is heated in a copper vessel until it is reduced to about one-fifth of its original volume and the present have caramelized. It can be made from a number of varieties of local red wine grapes and before the grapes are picked they are allowed to wither naturally on the vine for about thirty days. In Roman times it was known as sapa. Sapa was one of the main ingredients of farmer’s diet in old times and its production was - and still is - made during the grape pricking season. The sapa was typically used in the baking of cakes because it was easily home-made and therefore, cheaper than honey or granulated . Sapa is still being used in today’s cooking and it is typically served with a selection of seasoned and tasty cheese as well as with fresh salad, fresh cream or creamy flavours to enhance the ice-cream taste.

In summer sapa can be added to fresh water for refreshing drinks. An old saying suggests “add sapa to a full glass of fresh snow and kids will be happy to drink a nice and tasteful slush!”.

Today’s Sapa syrup is a fundamental ingredient to bake one of the most peculiar winter cakes: cavallucci, a croissant filled in with sapa and dried that can be stored for a longtime. Also, sapa can be served as a sauce for seasoning polenta food or for topping of a slice of fig loaf. It is not to forget that sapa is also one of the king ingredients of the fig loaf dough.

At the Dolciaria Marche we have faithfully followed the cooking steps of our grandparents: we have hand-picked the precious grapes of our local vineyards, pressed them and cooked them slowly in a heated copper vessel over many hours until it is reduced to an unmistakable dark, thick and sweet syrup. In compliance with hygiene and health regulations, we sell sapa in a typical amphora-shaped 500-ml bottle, a perfect product for those who want to discover or rediscover the flavours, aromas and colours of the ancient tradition of the Marche culinary arts.
