Presnitz is one of the cornerstones of the Trieste culinary tradition; the recipes are numerous, with imperceptible but significant variations. It is often associated with the Gubana of the Cividale area, but the dough (a sort of sweet soft sausage) is not rolled together with the pastry, which is made up of a very thin sheet.
