Roasted Crunchy Italian Peanut Cream

History

As early as 1870, the Marquis Faà di Bruno promoted peanut cultivation in Italy in a monograph entitled Cultivation and extraction of oil from the peanut, its diffusion and competition. In this text, he described his 20-year-long commitment to peanut farming and the experiences he had shared in this respect by publishing periodic articles.

The plant, that had already been known and grown in Italy since 1780, had been imported from South America by the Portuguese and was later spread to Asia, West Africa, and Europe. In Italy, its cultivation was spread in the regions of Piedmont, Lombardy, Veneto, Tuscany and in some Southern regions.

At the beginning of the 1900s, peanut farming was practiced in family vegetable gardens only, however it was further spread in the Thirties thanks to the land reclamation carried out in the lands of Iolanda of Savoia. WWII and the need for self-sufficiency boosted peanut plantations, leading the farmers near Ferrara to invest massively in this crop, by exploiting the peat and sandy reclaimed soils to satisfy the rising peanut demand.
