“Arculata” Sacred Roman Ringbread – 15 Pack

As seen on the BBC! On 5 September 1821, a team of Italian archaeologists excavated a small, perfectly preserved, ring-shaped loaf of bread that was accompanied by a handful of chestnuts, dried figs and prunes. Used as a religious offering, Roman Arculata are a continuation of Greek ring-breads that would continue to be made well into the era of early Christianity. Made with honey, ricotta and fine wheat flour, these sweet and soft Roman pastries will please you just as much as they did the gods! Proceeds from each order sold are donated to Forum dei Giovani in Pompei.
