minutesIt is believed that this traditional Italian dessert originated at the beginning of the 20th century in the northern province of Piedmont. It soon spread throughout the Apennine peninsula and then conquered the whole world.
The exact origin, when and where it was created and who its creator is, is unknown.
The name in translation means “boiled cream”. The north of Italy is not suitable for growing olives, so they use more fat and butter because they raise cattle. This region has milk and cream in abundance. That is why it is assumed that this dessert originated there, because the main ingredient is full-fat sour cream.
Today, there are countless varieties of this simple dessert, which has gained global popularity.
