The “coca garlanda” pastry originates from the Penedès region, the region of Catalonia with a designation of origin that produces the most wine. It is a sweet ring-shaped cake traditionally eaten at Easter. Its signature ingredient is green anise, known in Catalan as “matafaluga”. In the town of Sant Esteve Sesrovires, the garlanda comes in two sizes; large, to be given out to the public on the day of the “Ball de Garlandes” or “Garlanda Dance”; and small, which the dancers buy on the day to give to their partners at the start of the dance.
