Inspired by the first piadina kiosks that opened in the 1960s along the Romagna riviera, the Fresco Piada project was born. The idea is to produce high-quality piadas while preserving the original process, giving them flavour and freshness. All the piadas are worked and pre-cooked by hand on hot plates, one by one, and are free from preservatives. Goodness, rediscovered traditional flavours and full taste.
In our workshop we preserve the characteristics of craftsmanship, selecting the finest raw materials, top-quality products, and favouring our own territory: Romagna. The method used fully respects tradition: the piadas are pre-cooked by hand, one by one. We then cool them at room temperature. The product is naturally treated by us without thermal stress, allowing it to release all its fragrance!
Our three principles for producing quality piada: sourdough starter, we use sourdough starter following a precise process that draws on an age-old bread-making technique. Manual cooking in respect of tradition, rigorously done by hand. Made in Romagna: our piada is the fruit of its birthplace, made with 100% Romagna flour and carefully selected ingredients. Thanks to natural cooling after cooking, every piada retains all its special fragrance.
The result is a product of unique softness, lightness and digestibility. All without preservatives!
But we haven't stopped there: in the pursuit of excellence, the journey continues. Thanks to collaborations such as with the Department of Food Science of the University of Bologna, we have developed a product with no added yeast and with protected iodised salt.
Is there only one type of piada? In its journey in search of knowledge, the company has also highlighted the importance of flavours, developing recipes that rediscover the region's variations, such as the Piada del Chiosco, which in thickness, aroma and shape evokes the piadinas of the Ravenna area.
Variants all waiting to be discovered, such as La Ritrovata with the flavours of the past, made with Extra Virgin Olive Oil and sourdough starter, the Organic Ancient Grains Piada, and the Natural Piada.
An Italian product steeped in tradition, an Italian heritage to preserve and pass on! Italy at the Table, the Italy of authentic, rediscovered flavours.
