Journey to the World of Tiramisu
As captivating and layered as it appears, the origin of this dessert is that of rivalry and mystery. Tiramisu is said to have originated in the 17th century between Friuli Venezia Giulia and Veneto. The word tiramisu means “pick-me-up” and reflects the energy-boosting qualities of coffee.
A pastry chef named Roberto “Loly” Linguanotto is acknowledged to have crafted this eternal beauty in the 1960s. Inspired by a custard dessert from Venice named the “sbatudin,” the tiramisu has raised debate about its suitable recognition from time immemorial.
Endless Variations and a Timeless Recipe
The versatility and simplicity of Tiramisu lie in its composition and the layers of savoiardi and coffee. As the dessert gained prominence worldwide, chefs showcased their creativity through various innovations and twists.
