Pittsburgh also has a strong Italian ethnic presence. At the Strip, you can buy a type of Italian fruitcake called Panettone. Panettone makers Maini and La Florentine sell their famous cakes to the Pennsylvania Macaroni Company in the Strip District. Panettone, invented in Milan, Italy, is now a popular food in Switzerland, China, and all throughout South America.
Likewise, Nutella was created in Italy in the mid-20th century. Created by world renowned chocolatier Pietro Ferrero, Nutella was soon branded and exported around the world. It is now the third most popular spread for breads in Australia and has developed a dedicated fan base in the United States.
The Strip District is a wonderful example of a cultural melting pot, especially with all of the diverse foods that are blended together in the small market area.
