Historical And Social Evolution Of The Treviso Tiramisù
Historical and Social Evolution of the Treviso Tiramisù
Over time, other ingredients were added to the recipe, such as coffee, biscuits or bread crumbs. Certainly the Tiramisù of Treviso is the result of a historical-social and gastronomic evolution. Each family has its own way of preparing and interpreting it, making Tiramisu a mirror of the history of its territory. In the nineteenth century, in the homes of the people of Treviso, Tiramisu was prepared differently according to social classes. In the homes of the noble families the sponge cake of Austrian taste and tradition was used as a support (influence of the Viennese pastry shops of the Habsburg Emperors), while in the homes of poor families the bread crumb ("pan vecio") was used. Each family had its own way of preparing and interpreting it, adding some new ingredients to give body to the primordial tiramisù: ricotta, cream, mascarpone, bread crumbs, savoy biscuits, cocoa, white wine, etc. This is how Tiramisu has evolved over time, up to the present day, with the traditional recipe of Treviso and its six ingredients: cocoa, coffee, mascarpone, savoy biscuits, egg yolk and sugar.
