We cannot talk about Parre’s tradition without thinking about its local delicacy par excellence, a peculiar type of casoncelli known as “scarpinòcc”, so called for their shape resembling cloth shoes sewed by women of the town for their husbands and children. “Scarpinòcc” differ from traditional casoncelli both in seasoning, which consists of butter and plenty of cheese, and in the meatless stuffing.
È impensabile parlare di tradizioni Parresi senza ricordare il piatto tipico per eccellenza, ossia un tipo particolare di casoncelli, chiamati "scarpinòcc", chiamati così per la loro forma che ricorda le scarpe di panno che le donne del paese cucivano per i propri figli e nipoti. Gli "scarpinòcc" si differenziano dai classici casoncelli sia nel condimento, costituito da burro e da formaggio in abbondanza, sia nel ripieno, che è rigorosamente di magro.
