The Origin of Bresaola Carpaccio with Arugula and Grana Padano

The history of this savory dish dates back to the 15th century in northern Italy. Bresaola, a marinated and dried beef, was originally invented as a way to preserve meat in the Lombardy region. This preparation technique became popular among hunters and farmers, who appreciated the intense flavor and delicate texture of bresaola.

In the 19th century, the bresaola recipe was reinvented by Giuseppe Cipriani, a famous Italian chef. He created Carpaccio, a dish named after the Venetian painter Vittore Carpaccio, known for his vibrant use of color. This dish consists of thin slices of raw meat, marinated in a delicious sauce, and served with arugula and Grana Padano cheese.
