Some restrictions applyThe Romans did “zero waste” long before the modern world took up the cause! Food meant survival, so nothing was discarded. After pressing grapes for making wine, Roman bakers would often use the pulp and skins, known as “must,” for breads called mustacei. Drawing on the writings of Cato the Elder, and the traditional Roman bread form called the ‘ciriola’, this sweet and savory bread is shaped like a mini-baguette and promises to be a repeat order!
Have you ever wanted to experience the breads and pastries of Ancient Rome? Now you can! Farrell Monaco is a Roman archaeologist, baker, and writer whose research centers on food from the Roman Mediterranean. Farrell painstakingly recreates Ancient Roman recipes using techniques and ingredients sourced from archaeological research and ancient literature. Pistrinum is on a mission to revive ancient Roman cooking traditions and recreate breads and pastries enjoyed thousands of years ago in Ancient Rome. Monaco’s signature baked goods are made using (very) old-world methods, and they’re available exclusively on Goldbelly. It’s archaeo-culinary craft in action!
