The frustingo is the oldest Christmas sweet, older than the Christmas itself. The recipe over two thousand years ago, has passed from the Etruscan hands to those of Picentes. The frustingo was then a poor bread and hearty, appreciated by the Romans, who called panis Picentinus.<\/p>\n

Till some decades ago was the only Christmas sweet\u00a0 in the countryside. Vino Cotto, dried figs, dried grapes (raisins) and nuts were available, things that today are expensive treats.<\/p>\n
