The origins of agliata date to ancient Rome.[1] It has been described as a social-class crossover — typical peasant food also used by upper-class people.[2] The Venetian, a 14th-century cookbook, stated that agliata can be served "with all kinds of meat",[2] as reported by the Liber de Coquina, first published in the 13th century, where it is stated it can be used to "accompany any kind of meat".[2]
Agliata is used in the cuisine of Liguria to accompany meats and fish, and has been described as "a Ligurian classic".[3][5] It is still commonly used in Italian cooking.[1]
