HISTORY ”FROM GOLD”BEHIND THE PRODUCT

    In Ancient Greece, when they talked about rusk products, they talked about "Dipyrite Bread". Dipyrite from the composition of the ancient greek 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 spread across the lengths and breadths of the world. Thus, we find it in other languages and countries with the names "biscotte" or "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 are called "rusks" of honor due to Paxamas, the wise man from Boeotia who proposed 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, introduced us to the rusk 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. The rusks, however, and their "siblings", the breadsticks, remained a basic element in the daily life, especially of the Greeks. From the base of Cretan salads to the easy snack that is eaten at any time, the nut products are the foundations of the Mediterranean diet along with the oil, the olive and the mizithra.
