History with taste pastila from kolomna
Kolomenskaya pastila
Pastila
Pastila is a traditional Russian dessert, which is referred to ancient Russian cuisine. Just as Russian honey cake, pastila quickly caught fire and got regional development. Kolomenskaya and Rzevskaya pastilas were the most famous and of the best quality in all Russian Empire.
Contents
In particular,pastila in Kolomna has been made from apples for more than three hundred years and it was hand-made. The process included whipping apple puree with egg whites and drying the paste in a stove. The finished product could be stored for many years to come. In 1735 the first pastila factory (pastilnaya) was set up. Unfortunately, the pastila recipes and the product itself were forgotten after the Russian Revolution.
Reestablishment
In the year 2008, during the European skating championship, which was held in Kolomna, the project "History with flavor" was implemented, which resulted in the revival of Kolomna pastila production process. The forsaken symbol of Kolomna was regained with the opening of the pastila factory and the museum that followed.
The museum was set up in a historical building in the old part of the city. In the building next to it one can find the factory itself. During the theatrical performance that accompanies excursion visitors are offered a number of unique sorts of pastila. There is also another museum where tourists can both listen to the story of pastila and buy a box of traditional Russian dessert.
Location
The Museum is situated at 13A,Posadskaya St., Kolomna, Moscow region.
