Stroscia

(Ligurian Olive Oil Cake)

Originating from Pietrabruna, stroscia is a unique cake made with flour, high-quality olive oil, brown sugar, and Martini Bianco.


The best olive oil for this cake is Ligurian, extra virgin, and made from sweet and fragrant Taggiasca olives. The ingredients are mixed until the dough becomes firm, and it is then rolled and baked until golden brown. Stroscia can be enjoyed warm or cold, and it can also be stored in airtight container for up to a week so that it doesn't lose its fragrance.


In Ligurian dialect, strosciare means to break, referring to the fact that this cake is not cut but broken into pieces by hand.


It's recommended to pair stroscia with a glass of sweet wine on the side.
