The eel, embarking upon a lifelong adventure, swims up stream to the Sargassi Sea to reproduce, ending its life cycle in the waters of the Comacchio Valleys, a delicate ecosystem framed by the Po and Reno rivers and the Adriatic Sea. The Slow Food Presidium and the Delta del Po Regional Park of Emilia-Romagna have brought back the secular tradition of marinating the eels. No longer in risk of extinction, the eels can now be processed according to the most traditional technique.
