Barley Frisa

“A frisa, a little oil, some salt and a tomato, and dinner was served.”

The barley frisella of Apulian and Salento cooking: bread baked twice, dry and crunchy, with flours from grains grown around Cutrofiano.

Barley flour Baked twice 800 g pack

Barley frisa, also called barley frisella in Puglia, is a traditional food of Apulian and Salento cooking, loved for its simplicity and versatility. It is a rusk-like bread made with barley flour, baked twice to get a dry, crunchy and crumbly texture. An ancient food, born in the farming culture of Southern Italy.

All the flours used for these frise come from locally grown grains, in the fields around Cutrofiano and the nearby villages. A choice that values our land, supports small farmers and gives a genuine product with a very short supply chain.

How they are made

Baked twice, a loaf cut in half

A frisa is a loaf cut in half horizontally and dried in the oven: baking it twice is what makes it dry, crunchy and long-lasting.

1
The dough
It starts with barley flour, worked into a dough that is divided into loaves.
2
First baking
The loaves are baked a first time in the oven.
3
The cut
They are cut in half horizontally: each loaf gives two frise.
4
Second baking
Back in the oven they go, until they reach their typical dry, crunchy texture.

The tradition

The bread of the poor, for the fields and for travelling

The frisella was once the bread of the poor: always good, put aside for hard times and brought back to life with just a little water. A frisa, a little oil, some salt and a tomato, and dinner was served.

Because baking it twice makes it last so long, it was the bread people took with them when working in the fields or on a journey. And still today, here in Puglia, it isn't summer unless dinner is a frisa every now and then — actually, quite often.
