My grandmother, Nonna Lorenza, invents a new recipe for a flatbread, inspired by her mother in law.
Nonna Lorenza decides to open a small restaurant on top of a hill in Saltara, Italy. The place quickly rises to fame, selling nearly 1,000,000 crescias over a few decades!
Unfortunately, in early 2025, a government error forces my nonna to shut the restaurant down and abandon forever her dreams.
Today, I committed to continue her legacy through Leonessa (“lioness,” named after my powerful Nonna), sharing her unique flatbread with the whole world.

Most flatbreads leave you hungry again in 30 minutes. Leonessa satisfies hunger like a real meal because of its nutrient-rich ingredients.
Not sure what to have for lunch or dinner? Wrap what you love inside a Leonessa.
If savory Leonessa is great, the sweet version is irresistible.
Craving pizza that actually nourishes you? Tomato, cheese, Leonessa. 5 minutes in the oven.
For many reasons! Here are some of the main ones:
About 30 days from the production date.
This is shorter than supermarket flatbreads, which can stay on shelves for months.
But honestly, we doubt yours will last until the end of the month to find out!
No, never. We don’t use any type of preservative.
Leonessa Piadina is made only with natural ingredients, which is why it must be kept in the fridge and consumed within 30 days.
Most flours come from wheat that’s treated with pesticides.
Organic flour, like the one we use, is healthier because it’s cleaner, less chemically treated, and free of additives that conventional flour often contains.
Leonessa has a calorie content similar to other flatbreads, but the difference is in the quality of the ingredients.
When fats come from seed oils or preservatives are added, you tend to eat much more before feeling full, because these ingredients irritate the gut and confuse your hunger signals.
Real fats, like butter and lard, do the opposite: they nourish and satisfy you, so you naturally stop eating when your body has had enough.
Larger packs offer a lower price per piadina.
Leonessa Piadina is handmade (yes, every single one!) with organic ingredients, and the preparation takes at least 4 hours from start to finish.
There’s a reason most brands no longer produce this way.
Rolling and cooking each piadina by hand, using real fats and organic flour, requires more time and care — and that’s what you see reflected in the price.
To make it more affordable, we also offer subscriptions that let you always have Leonessa in your fridge at a lower price per piadina.
