Origin of Salty Chiacchiere

The first traces of Salty Chiacchiere date back to the times of the ancient Roman Empire. It was indeed a tradition, in the pre-Lenten period, to prepare a large quantity of sweets to distribute to the people: they were then called Frictilia and had to be “tasty”, simple to prepare, and low-cost.
 

Since the Roman Empire extended almost throughout Italy, different regions developed variations of the original recipe, depending on the tastes and traditions of the various territories, starting from the dough of fried bread, either savory or sweet.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, bakers from Modena, Bologna, and Ferrara invented, inspired by the old Frictilia recipe, a handmade product to be sold by weight, the Salty Chiacchiere. This small product was made with the leftovers of bread dough, which instead of being thrown away, was allowed to rise again for up to 20 hours. At that point, the dough was worked until it took the shape of short and narrow tagliatelle, which were then fried and sold by weight. From that moment, the Salty Chiacchiere were sold daily by bakers, by weight, until the 1960s.
