Offida “Funghetto”

A very simple cake made of water, sugar, flour and anise, named after its little mushroom-like shape. It is a product exclusively from Offida, typical and genuine, Offida bakers’ boast and that’s why they jealously keep the recipe secret from generation to generation.

Depending on the thickness of the dough and on the baking we can distinguish two kinds of Offida Funghetto: the traditional one, which presents a harder dough in the shape of a circle ‘rosetta’ (little rose), and the softer one, with the mushroom-like shape.

During an extraordinary meeting of the Town Council on 15th July 2015, Offida Funghetto has officially become a DE.C.O (Municipal Denomination of Origin). This means that the Funghetto must be produced within Offida territory. Otherwise, the brand “Funghetto di Offida” can be granted subject to authorization by a special Committee.
