Bagna càuda, a dish from Piedmont, Italy, is made of garlic, anchovies, olive oil, and butter. The dish is served and consumed in a manner similar to fondue.

Bagna càuda (Italian: [ˈbaɲɲa ˈkauda]; Piedmontese: [ˈbaɲa ˈkɑʊda]; Piedmontese for "hot dip",[1] alternatively written bagna caôda or bagnacauda, etymologically related to Italian root bagn-, meaning "bath", and caldo, meaning "hot") is a warm dip typical of Piedmont, Italy, but with numerous local variations.

In the past walnut or hazelnut oil would have been used.[2] Sometimes, truffles are used in versions around Alba.[3] The dish is eaten by dipping raw, boiled or roasted vegetables, especially cardoon, carrot, peppers, fennel,[3] celery, cauliflower, artichokes, and onions. It is traditionally eaten during the autumn and winter months, particularly at Christmas and New Year's, and must be served hot, as the name suggests. }

Bagna cauda is also a popular winter dish in central Argentina, an area of predominantly Northern Italian descent.
