TriesteStand:TRIESTE Kaiser and S'ciopette Various geographical, historical and cultural influences characterise the
traditions of the Trieste people. In the bakery tradition, the domination of the
Austro-Hungarian Empire introduced two specific types of bread. One of the most
common types is the "Kaiser", which has the shape of a rose (indeed it
is also known in many areas as "Rosetta") and weighs around 60 grams.
The other one is the "S'ciopetta", which is named after the particular
"blast effect" produced while being baked. It has a medium-small size,
and is cut in the middle before being put in the oven, in order for the loaf to
open, thus producing the "blast effect". Nowadays, the production of
bread in Trieste is varied and unique, and the more peculiar types of bread are:
"Bighe a mano", "Pane Trionfo", and "Orgogli". |
