Italy Chronicles – Discover the Christmas Cake of Abruzzo – Parrozzo

See on Scoop.it - Good Things From Italy - Le Cose Buone d’Italia



Parrozzo is a Christmas favourite in the Abruzzo region of Italy.



Italy’s cuisine never ceases to amaze me! Christmas, as you will know and if you celebrate it, is coming. This means that out come all the Christmas favorites, and in Italy just about every single one of Italy’s twenty regions has its favorites.



Take, for example, Abruzzo which has its very own Christmas cake. The name of this chocolate covered cake is Parrozzo.



I was a little suprised to learn that Parrozzo is not one of those cakes which has been cooked since the dawn of time.



No.



Instead, Parrozzo was created less than 100 years ago in 1920 by one Luigi D’Amico, the owner of a cake shop in Pescara.
