The real and unique Camaldoli’s schiacciata

The real Camaldoli’s schiacciata, is made by Tassini’s family since 1890, year when my grand-grand parents started producing it for the peregrins coming from Moggiona where the grand-parents had a little shop, and at Camaldoli’s heremitage where together with their children they managed for over 40 years the “Canova of the monks”.
In 1927, one of the sons, my grand-grand father Dante, opened a little chalet Restaurant in the little lake next to the heremitage, also there schiacciata will be produced for peregrins, creating a mix of holy and profane; in fact at the Canova you could only eat meatless, while at the Chalet next to the little lake you could also eat meat.
In 1930 grand-grand father Dante marries Grand-grand mother Bruna he rents an ancient outbuilding of the monastery, in Camaldoli. My grand-grand-mother Bruna, young and clever, gives life to the mix of SCHIACCERIA and restaurant Camaldoli, giving to her guests delicious little schiacciate, and drawn up dishes to please a wide range of costumers.
I am the last keeper of an ancient recipe, that with all it’s simplicity contains more than a thausand years of history and loving gestures.
The ancient recipe and the sourdough have been passed like a nursery rhyme: from great-great grandmother bruna to great-grandmother Bruna and grandmother Rosanna, from grandmother to my mother MariaPia and at the end to me, Elisa, i produce everyday delicious schiacciatine for piligrims and tourists that want a good product unchanged in the time.
Lately there are many people trying to copy our schiacciate but although they all seem alike, the difference is in the taste.
We wait for you!
