Italian Bruschetta With Pesto In Liguria, Italy Stock Photography

Bruschetta was born as a poor dish, which was prepared by farmers to use the now stale bread and make it last even longer. Italian ingredients of excellence such as extra virgin olive oil and sea salt acted as preservatives and with the passage of time, bruschetta has become a real ritual to accompany the aperitif. Each Italian region boasts its own recipe for bruschetta which, starting with a slice of crispy homemade bread and seasoned with extra virgin olive oil and salt, is enriched with authentic and precious ingredients such as Pachino tomatoes, garlic, or Parma ham.
