Why "la Truscia" ?

Once in Sicily there was only one great certainty: the '' truscia ''. This wonderful
Sicilian term so onomatopoeic derives from the French '' trousse '' and can be translated as '' bundle '', a bundle of clothes that was used to carry something. That bundle had many uses: the truscia made with fabric (a sheet no longer in use or a kitchen placemat, in dialect `` la mappina ''), could contain dirty linen to take to the washroom, but above all it contained the breakfast of a worker who left home early in the morning, and having to walk the path to work, tied the bundle to a stick, to be placed on his shoulder so as not to hold it in his hand.

In an episode of Inspector Montalbano broadcast on TV, there is a scene in which the inspector meets his trusty cook Adelina, who hands him a bundle or rather a scam, as they say in Sicilian, which contains food.

It is a romantic image reminiscent of good food, well cooked, fragrant and still warm, wrapped with large napkins to carry it out of your kitchen, as Adelina does in the film.

From all this, the idea of ​​making you have directly at home in a package, "la truscia" , typical Sicilian products of the highest quality and certified origin.
