Notes

Ronald Ciarlo notes that this cookie loaf is very popular in Rhode Island amongst Italian Americans. This recipe was often made by his maternal cousin, Dolores DeMeo, who was born in Itri, Latina. This contributor believes the pastry is actually of Neapolitan origin because the majority of Italian Americans in Rhode Island trace their ancestry to the Campania region.
