HISTORY "FROM GOLD" BEHIND THE PRODUCT
In Ancient Greece, when they talked about a nut, they talked about "Dipyrite Bread". Dipyrite from the composition of the words "two" and "fire" as he entered the fire twice. In fact, the technique of its preparation was such that the aim was to remove any trace of moisture. The ultimate goal was to serve the needs of people who wanted to travel far. And such was the success of the new crunchy product that its fame reached the lengths and breadths of the world. Thus, we find it in other languages and countries with many names. "Biscotte" is the "biscuit" for the French, biscoctus for the Latins and "biscotto" for the Italians.
In the Middle Ages, crunchy buns finally find their eternal name. They got the name "rusks" in honor of Paxamas. A scholar from Boeotia who suggested the double baking of bread and gave us one of the most delicious patents! Thus, Paxamas, the "Celementes" of antiquity who wrote many gastronomic books. He himself introduced us to the nut that came to star even in historical events! We find it even in the hold of warships when the Venetians brought ammunition to the Cretans. But also in World War II, the nut was a staple food for the guerrillas in the occupied mountains.
From then until today, many years have passed and with them many historical events and many changes in diet. Nuts, however, remained a key element in the daily life of Greeks in particular. From the base of Cretan salads to the easy snack that we can eat at any time, rusks are the foundation of the Mediterranean diet along with oil, olives and mizithra.
