History
It is unknown which duchess coined this recipe that passed into the Cuban family kitchen. Possibly it belonged to the so-called sugar aristocracy, landowners who bought noble titles with capital accumulated in the sugar industry, between the 18th and 19th centuries . Either way, the distinction is underlined by the taste, which is truly superior since it is undoubtedly an aristocratic dish.
