Crocchè

Traditional Agri-food Product, on the national list of the Italian Ministry of Agriculture

A croquette (; French: [kʁɔkɛt]; Spanish: croqueta) is a deep-fried roll originating in French cuisine and most extended in Spanish cuisine consisting of a thick binder combined with a filling, which is then breaded. It is served as a side dish, a snack, or fast food worldwide.
The binder is typically a thick béchamel or brown sauce, mashed potatoes, wheat flour, or wheat bread. The binder may be mixed with or stuffed with a filling. Typical fillings include finely chopped meat, seafood, cheese, rice, mushrooms, and various vegetables, which may be combined with seasonings such as herbs and spices.
