"When the English writer Paul Richardson came across a specialty of Prezza (AQ) during his research for an essay on the history of the chocolate hazelnut, he was amazed to discover a cream made from pig's blood and cocoa, lard, ground almonds , breadcrumbs, boiled must and citrus peel, identifying it as the ancestor of the famous biscuit salami, known and spread throughout the world today.
The essay points out that many regions have recipes with pig's blood mixed with chocolate, including the famous Neapolitan "Sanguinaccio". With the passage of time, however, the pig was "defeated" (cit.), leaving the field only for chocolate", writes Aif.it
In Romania, the biscuit salami recipe appeared between 1970 and 1980, as a result of food shortages during the communist period, and was usually made with margarine instead of butter.
