Parrozzo comes from an ancient peasant recipe called Pan Rozzo, a loaf of bread that shepherds in Abruzzo would derive from corn flour and milk from their herds, which smelled of thyme, mint and almonds from the mountains and was cooked in a wood oven. From a bread to a cake, the Parrozzo cake in an almond crust with NUTELLA® has become a true delicacy.
