Origins This Italian specialty, which originates from the northern Italian province of Lombardy, is crusty and has a marvelously light crumb structure. It is made with olive oil, which gives it a Mediterranean flavor and a soft, delicate texture. In 1982 a small band of dedicated flour experts got together to talk about dough. One of them, Arnoldi Cavallari, a miller in his late forties became especially excited. For years, Rome could only look on in horror as large-scale baguette imports from France threatened to monopolize the lucrative Italian sandwich industry. It was time to hit back with an equally commercially viable product. That’s how Cavallari came up with the Ciabatta Polesano. It was hailed as the bread that saved Italy, and since then it has rocked the sandwich world. Consumption habits When: Ciabatta will accompany almost any meal and is perfect for lunch time sandwiches. How: This rich flavored bread can be served with all the delicious delicacies of Italy. It’s perfect with cured meat (prosciutto raw and cooked, mortadella, bresaola, salami, ...), spreadable cheeses, olive tapenades and grilled vegetables. For breakfast it is sliced in two and topped as it is or toasted with butter and jam, honey or chocolate paste. RAL ON The real Italian specialty authentic breads.
