The name Friggione comes from frizòn, the dialect form of a word from the low Bolognese area that meant to “fry lightly”, the traditional cooking method for sauces gently boiled over a low flame. It first developed as a onion-based dish for poor people in the countryside, where it was eaten alongside polenta or bread. Our Modenese Friggione contains an additional ingredient, IGP Modena Balsamic Vinegar, creating a unique recipe. A timeless sauce that today – as in the past – enriches the flavour of many dishes and snacks.
