🍰Meet “Tuscan Trifle” (inspired) CHEESECAKE

🫘Known as TIRAMISU to just about everyone!

THE ORIGINAL:::Tiramisu is widely believed to have originated in the Treviso region of Italy in the late 1960s or early 1970s.

“Tiramisu" translates to PICK ME UP in Italian!

Roberto Linguanotto, also known as "Loli", is widely credited as the creator of tiramisu. He developed the recipe in collaboration with Alba Campeol, the wife of the owner of the restaurant Le Beccherie in Treviso, Italy, in the late 1960s. While MANY sources mention other possible origins, the general consensus points to Linguanotto and Campeol as the key figures behind this popular dessert.

🪏we DUG A BIT DEEPER THAN GOOGLE COULD TAKE US and here’s the best part about it all!!

📣 Alba (female) was inspired by a dessert made by her MOTHER-IN-LAW, which combined zabaglione and COFFEE. I DO NEED TO FIND MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS WOMAN. Lime her name!

The Surface Historical search would have us stopping at Roberto. However he had A LOT of inspiration!

ALWAYS DIG A BIT DEEPER! As my my GRAN would say, WIPE OFF THE SURFACE DIRT, you’ll find a treasure treasure chest of knowledge to inspire your day! In my case… BAKING!

Xoxo 💋
CHEF LoLa!

Straka Family Farm did a soft launch of our Savory Skin line featuring Beef Tallow products at the UHH Foundation Sip and Savor event. We render the suet from our own cattle into tallow and infuse it with wonderfulness.
We have 5 different Whipped Tallow Balms, two different lip balms in tubes and 3 different soap bars.
Let me know if you are interested in sampling or are ready to buy some tallow products.
I love to answer any questions about tallow and our process.

Did you know, beef is a nutrient-rich food that supports heart-healthy diets and lifestyles? In fact, numerous research studies have shown that incorporating lean beef in a heart-healthy diet can maintain healthy cholesterol and blood pressure levels. A 3-oz serving of lean beef has about 170 calories on average and is a naturally rich source of 10 essential nutrients like protein, B-vitamins, iron and zinc. The truth is, any cut of beef can support a heart-healthy diet when enjoyed in sensible portions as part of an overall balanced diet.
